Dear Mindjet MindManager 7,
Yes, your name is a bit long, but I take pleasure in typing it, saying it, enjoying the sound of each syllable. The alliterative M’s echo what I say in my mind when I think of you, which is, of course, “mmm!”.
First, I have to be honest with you - you […]

You think that mind mapping is just for brainstorming? Maybe a little document outlining? Ah how wrong you are. I think one of the best uses of mind mapping is taking meeting notes. Gaelen links to Lifehacker’s post on mind mapping meetings and points us all to the MindManager map gallery:

Gotta love the folks at MindJet. As the count-down continues (4 more days!) until MM7 is released, here is a great map idea–use a drafting table metaphor.

Combine and improve ideas
