Again I stumbled across another great piece of mind engineering that is open source, which made it whole lot better.
Xmind, this is probably the coolest brainstorming and mind mapping software on the planet today. With Xmind we can share ideas, brainstorm, make lots of sketches, participate and share with our peers and collaborators. Ubidesk is about organization matter, Xmind is about freedom of exploration. This is an excerp taken off the official site
{xtypo_quote}XMind, combined with online sharing service, provides a revolutionary way to enable both team brainstorming and personal mind mapping. With this major upgrade, we bring Web 2.0 concepts on community sharing into a popular desktop application. New Gantt view allows project managers to easily track project tasks and schedules. You'll find many more useful and time-saving functions in XMind product family.

Today XMind is royalty-free and open source, meaning when you want to use an XMind fishbone in a spreadsheet, put your photos and media files into a mind map, or reuse your Freemind/MindManager files, you're free to use XMind without charge. You can even add XMind or XMind Pro as plug-ins into your Eclipse-based enterprise environment. Cool eh? Great app royalty free... :-)
Xmind is made available for various platforms; Mac OS, Windows, Debian/Ubuntu and then there's the Xmind Portable that works on all 3 platforms of your choice, so that road warriors can always drill down your brain power anytime.
Give Xmind a whirl, ER Living Brand did and we are loving every minute of it. One issue though that's when you're mindless and idealess... Well we can always share...
