XMIND2007, from Mango Software, allows you to use your whole mind to create a map of any system, publication, or thought process.

Mind mapping software helps the user to create an organized diagram of a subject and all related sub-topics of that subject. Most available mind mapping software on the general market uses one approach to create a mind map. The diagram looks like a collection of interconnected speech bubbles.

The diagram is more of a brain dump than anything else, but the principle can be used to create software to manage the resulting collection of data whilst being able to visualize it as you go along. The result is a coherent map of a subject.

People generally have different areas in the mind, all used to different levels, and traditional mind mapping solutions tend to ignore this in favour of a one size fits all approach.

However, any given problem can be thought of in terms of logic, creative, text, numbers, or images, in different quantities, depending on the person. In short, the same problem might not 'look' the same to different people. XMIND combines all areas to provide a mapping solution that is more intuitive.

The power behind XMIND 2007 is that it allows brain to associate thoughts and document them more easily. The free flowing thought processes are not interrupted by the imposition of a certain structure, which allows the user to breaks away from a linear approach to problem solving.

The result is an increase in time effectiveness – the user can let their mind run without stopping to type, document, or try and marshal the results in a way that runs against their intuition.

Another bonus us that XMIND is easy to use with very highly graphical user interface. This means that there is even less resistance to the thought process. The more intuitive the software is to use, the less interruptions there will be and the more effective will be the result.

XMIND 2007 Main Mapping in Action

The package comes with:

• Templates
• Decoration effects
• Different layouts

Each of these is designed to help with the mind mapping process. Once the map is finished there is a set of tools to use the map to create other views, with other aims in the problem solving process. Each one is annotated with icon markers with a user-defined legend, to make the transfer of information as clear as possible.

There are some advanced automated functions like numbering, which are context sensitive. In addition, there is an open plug-in platform making the tool extensible; thanks in part to an online community of plug-in developers. In short, everything is aimed at facilitating the thinking process.

Finally, maps can be organized with a clever workbook function, allowing the final result to be properly arranged.

With a 21 day full feature free trial, any free thinker owes it to themselves to get those ideas down on paper before they go away!
