MindMeister

MindMeister, the mind-mapping tool, has rolled out some new features. The site launched its beta earlier this year, and may be one of the more useful mind-mapping tools out there. Most of the upgrades involve the creation and editing of the mind maps themselves, and less with the social sharing aspects of mind maps.

Some of the new features include the ability to add links on ideas for both internal (between maps) and external (websites, email addresses) ideas, an automatic “layouter” to keep your map more tidy, and previews for notes and links. The line drawing tool has been improved to tidy up your maps as well, and the maps will now automatically resize based on the size of your map. Other good features include the ability to start a new map from a single idea, and the option to browse, search, view and rate public maps on MindMeister.
