I've heard the term mind mapping before didn't really pay it much mind. apparently it's something I do all the time but mostly in my head. Anyhoo found the great site
MindMeister from this other
pretty good page(links to lots of free/near free useful tools) But I like MM because it's online so I can use from any computer with net access. Anyhoo, you can check them both out you may find some useful stuff.
ETA: There's
Mind42 which is a totally free one so no 6 maps limit like with MM.
