Cool tool for brainstorming…

I Stumbled across Mind Meister and think this is a really cool tool.

Basically, it is a free form brainstorming tool. It allows you to create groups and sub-groups. It gives icons, and numbers, it allows you to share with others and tracks their collaborations.

I have long used tools like this on a white board drawing a fish skeleton, where invariably at the end of the meeting, someone has to copy down the idea and then try to put it into a spreadsheet and then send it out to everyone. This tool allows you to brainstorm online, and it allows you to track updates as you go. Did you try something that did not work? Hit a dead end? Discover a new line of thinking, make a few quick changes and all of that can be documented quickly and easily for everyone on the project.

Work by yourself, I have mapped out several very detailed business models and shared them with potential partners. I have also mapped out an entire new website that we are launching in 2 weeks. I am sure there are dozens of good uses I have not even considered.

This is still in a private beta, but I have a few invitations to share if anyone is interested.

    This sounds like just the thing for me. I’m constantly tweaking things and then forgetting and this could help to organise me. Could you please email me an invite?

    Oh and very good article about white - I have a campaign promoting a simple email submit at the moment and my landing site is all in dark colours. I’ll change it to white and see what happens

    I would be interested. My partner is in Las Vegas while I’m in Washington state. Need some way to share working ideas. Thanks.

    If you have any left - I’d love to check it out. I’m (supposed to be) the strategy guy here, so anything to facilitate that would be great. PS, subscribed to RSS.

    Excellent tool. We’ve been using it for the past year. I think it mimics the way our brains think
