The numerous applications of mind mapping software
Oct 30th, 2009 | By Chuck Frey | Category: Resources
During the Social Media Chat earlier this week, one of the topics we talked about was the incredible variety of applications for which mind mapping software can be used. It’s not a panacea, of course, but it is very versatile type of productivity software.
During the chat, I jotted a note to myself that I really ought to produce a visual representation of these applications – a mind map of mind mapping software uses – similar to the map I recently produced that listed all of the mind mapping software programs.
So here it is! Please click on the image for a larger, more complete version.
If you have any suggestions for additions, please let me know and I’ll add them to this map. Eventually, I’ll upload the finalized map to the resources area of this blog for everyone to benefit from.

My son Camille, 13 years old, has had a lot of learning difficulties. Last year, we introduced mind mapping as learning support, with great results. In my opinion, it’s not only the mind map that helps him, it’s mostly the mind mapping process! So you may wish to add Learning to your Mind Mapping Applications map…

Hi Chuck
Really useful summary.
I am currently compiling an article fro my professional journal on the uses of mind mapping. Would the publisher be able to get permission to use your diagram within the article?
