Free Online Mind Mapping Tool: MindMeister

Zack — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 03:10:45 +0000

The first time I heard of mind map, I really think it’s very powerful and creative. I tried to use mind map for a while, until I started to use computer for most of my work. You know, it’s not convinient to draw mind map on computer. And later, I found some softwares designed for mind mapping, but they are all very expensive. After several years, we can have free online mind mapping tool: Mind Meister.

MindMeister brings the concept of mind mapping to the web, using its facilities for real-time collaboration to allow truly global brainstorming sessions. Users can create, manage and share mind maps online and access them anytime, from anywhere. In brainstorming mode, fellow MindMeisters from around the world (or just in different rooms) can simultaneously work on the same mind map and see each other’s changes as they happen.

Open Source Google Chrome Browser: Chromium

Zack — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 18:45:13 +0000

Chromium is the open-source project behind Google Chrome. They are almost the same thing, the main difference I can see between Chromium and Google Chrome is that there is no Google logo on Chromium. And the icon of Chromium is blue rather than colorful as Google Chrome icon .

Chromium offers a green version, which means you don’t need to install to use Chromium. So that, you may put it in your USB flash disk, and run on any computer. You can download Chromium from Google Code, the latest version is under the folder with the name of the biggest number. I downloaded and extracted the chrome-win32.zip file and use the chrome.exe in the folder, everything goes fine. But some people suggest to download the min_installer.exe file.

For more information you may visit the official website of Chromium: http://chromium.org.
