I found a great, easy to use, and free mindmapping tool called Bubbl.us. It allows you to create colorful mindmaps. Mindmaps allow you to brainstorm and organize your ideas visually. Once you create your mindmap, you can embed it in your website or email it or share it with friends. Best of all it’s free.
If you are creating info products or ecourses, try using Bubbl.us for brainstorming or outlining your next project. If you don’t have anyone to share it with, feel free to share it with me

Hi Gwen,
I found your site after reading the comment you left at http://rodrigues-peters.com/mu/autora-en/2009/12/14/differences-between-user-manuals-and-childrens-books/
Thanks a lot for the http://bubbl.us/ link. I use http://freemind.sourceforge.net/ a lot. The problem is that the tool has to be installed on the computer you use. I like browser based applications a lot because you can use them on every computer, even on public computers in a hotel or at the airport. And bubble is really great. Thanks again for the link.

Hey Carsten,
Thanks for stopping by! I used bubbl.us just last night for a project. I agree with you that the web-based tools are so much easier and convenient, especially if you use multiple computers. I’m glad someone found my suggestion useful!
