Remember back in third grade when you learned how to make mind maps? Those diagrams that connect related thoughts by constructing a hierarchical, web-like diagram? You probably still use mind maps on a day-to-day basis without even realizing it; in your job, at home, or even just while jotting down simple notes by yourself. Wise Mapping is a new service which uses SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) technology to let you create such maps on the web and embed them in your blog or personal website so that you can share them with others. To get started, sign up (it's quick and free). The best point of departure for a creating your first mind map would be to check out the 2-minute demo and/or use the sample editor. When you're ready to start, you'll have access to a similar set of features and tools as you would on Word in regards to text and color options. It's very easy to describe and share your maps; you can imbed and tag your mind maps via the main console. The console will also keep track of your maps for you in list-form so that you can access, modify, and publish them to the web with ease. Once the maps are published, you can enable them for collaboration if you so choose. Lastly, since Wise Mapping doesn't use Flash or any other application that requires a plug-in, you can rest assured that it will work on your system (Wise Mapping supports IE, Safari, Firefox, and Opera).
