It is an excellent piece of software for brainstorming, previously I tried to use Inspiration, but it’s just soo big and clunky, FreeMind is the total opposite, it’s easy to use, you don’t need top faff around to get everything working nicely, and it does it’s job well. I’d totally reccomend it to anyone who want’s something to organise their ideas/projects, its just, well, great! I can’t believe I haven’t found it before, previously whist searching for Brainstorming software I got huge lists of paid-for stuff. But recently I’ve found a nice little trick, put “open source” before whatever you want, there seems to be a great open source version of everything.
That looks like it might be perfect for me; I often want to do mindmaps for things like revision notes, but even Smart Art in Word 2007 isn’t perfect for that sorta thing. I tried MindMan a little while ago, but it wasn’t great.
