MindMeister: A Convenient Online Mind Map Creation Tool

When considering and building a project, many ideas often come to mind. When a multitude of ideas are piled together, they can often feel chaotic and disordered. At this point, we need a convenient way to combine these ideas, organize their sequence, and ultimately form a graphical and textual record. This is what we call a creative map, also known as a stream-of-consciousness cloud map.

Drawing such a map with pen and paper is not only environmentally unfriendly, but also difficult to modify, and requires some drawing skills. Using a computer to draw it can be challenging due to the lack of suitable and simple tools, and it also requires strong professional knowledge. Thanks to the advanced technology of Web 2.0, today we can easily achieve this function online, which is both eco-friendly and simple, easy to use, freeing up our brains, and improving work efficiency. This is Online Mind Mapping - MindMeister.

Upon opening the homepage, you'll see a DEMO. It simply demonstrates the functions of MindMeister. By dragging and clicking on the DEMO with your mouse, you can experience the basic application of MindMeister. An important point: it perfectly supports multi-language display, including Chinese.

Stream-of-consciousness map

Of course, MindMeister's full functionality goes far beyond that. MindMeister integrates team concepts and creativity into web pages, utilizing the internet for real-time collaboration, achieving true global brainstorming sessions.

Users can create, manage, and share mind maps online at any time and from anywhere. In brainstorming mode, the project team can be from all over the world (or just in different rooms), working simultaneously on the same mind map while viewing each other's changes in real time. If using the integrated Skype phone, everyone can discuss the creative direction of the project as if they were physically present at the meeting.
