3 Great free online tools to create mindmaps

Mind Mapping is basically organizing your thoughts with a detailed diagram so that you do not lose out on anything and basically a great way to give an insights into a plan. We can say a mind map is something similar to a flow chart without the logical operators thrown in. It is more like a visual representation of a plan which with one glance can be understood by another person without much explaining to do.

Here are three great online tools for creating mind maps online and storing them.

#1. Think – Mind Map online App

• Think is a great online tool and has a very innovative style of showing the mind map (as you can see in the image below).
• It also allows creating private and public mindmaps and this you can do by creating them through Open IDs, Google ID or Yahoo ID.
• I liked the classy style of showing links and also the simple and easy way to use the interface.

#2. Text 2 Mind Map

• Text 2 Mind Map does exactly what the name suggests. It converts any Text into a Mind Map.
• If you are drawing up a list and sub-list this tool is ideal to use. Create your list and sub-lists and let the website map it out.
• There is no need to sign in and all you have to do is download the map as a JPEG file.

#3. Ekpenso Mind Map

• Ekpenso is a multi-language service to create Mind Maps. It also allows creating public and private Mind Maps.
• This website requires you to register and then use the service (It does support Open IDs).
• The best part of this website is you can download the map as an image and also as a PDF file. 🙂

I feel creating mind maps is like a advanced version of creating a list of things to do in the future except with mind map tools you can link one to do list to another in innovative ways. 😉
