Mindomo is a collaborative mind-mapping program that is a great way to stay focused and in-touch with the plan you want to develop. This type of program lets you brainstorm and create webs of content that you can manage together. You can organize your ideas around a subject and keep your mind connected. It allows you to store random ideas and imaginations as well as spur of the moment thoughts that you need to get down right away before they escape you. You can pour what's on your mind on the page and refine and refresh your ideas at any time.
Mindomo is one of the most effective mind-mapping programs because it is the easiest representation of your mental model and your thought process which is characterized by expansion in multiple directions. It is collaborative because you can invite other to have access to your page. Whether they are on your project team or whether you need inspiration or brainstorming in real-time with your colleagues. Mindomo has such features as: high density maps, video and audio capabilities, pictures, simple and real time collaboration, offline working, multi-level numbering, comment/voting on topics, spell check, importing contacts and exporting your maps.
The are three different versions you can get: Free (3 maps/limited tools), Premium ($6 a month/unlimited maps/more feature than free version), and Team ($9 a month/team administration interface/all features). The only negative to this program is the ability to use all of the tools only if you pay monthly for the service and the ability of people to edit your work can backfire if you do not save it in another place. They can edit your ideas and give comments and you may not be able to get them back.
The present series of studies have found that self-disclosure is higher in Computer-Mediated Communication than Face to Face and that both visual anonymity and heightened private/reduced public self-awareness can be implicated in this effect (Joinson 2001). Since studies prove that a good percentage of people overall are more comfortable behind a computer than in person, you have a great chance of sending someone your ideas or giving them access to your mind-map and getting their true opinions on your structure and plans.
