Mind Mapping Software Evaluation

On the Knowledge Mapping blog there’s an interesting post titled Software Evaluation Synopsis.  This is a side-to-side evaluation of five Knowledge Mapping: Software Evaluation Synopsis:The tables below summarize my evaluation of the mindmapping software that I chose to assess and that I described in the previous blogs….  A quantitative analysis would have required a more rigorous testing regime, but I’m not convinced the end results would necessarily have been any different.  A quantitative analysis would have removed any personal bias; but what I have found over this past year is that choosing and using mindmapping software “is a personal thing” — if the software doesn’t “feel right”, it doesn’t matter how many features it has.
