While writing up notes for my Project Blog Survey, I learned from George Dearing about the new MindMeister product, a web based "mindmapping" tool that supports graphical concept mapping, collaboration, and group Skype calling.

I haven't tried out MindMeister's collaboration functions yet, but I have experimented with the basic tool as a concept outliner for issues raised by and during the initial interviews on this survey about the use of blogs as project management tools. I like the functionality, and I also like the way you can embed a view of the concept map in a web page. See the example here or immediately below which reflects in real time changes made to the model (use your mouse pointer to drag the image, to "mouseover" notes icons, or to click the small junction circles):

I've discovered an interesting feature: one of the "export" formats is RTF which allows for exporting a text only version of the map that can then be manipulated using a word processor.It incorporates heading level information, too.
