Collaborative Online Mind Mapping

MindMeister brings the concept of mind mapping to the web, using its facilities for real-time collaboration to allow truly global brainstorming sessions. Users can create, manage and share mind maps online and access them anytime, from anywhere. In brainstorming mode, fellow MindMeisters from around the world (or just in different rooms) can simultaneously work on the same mind map and see each other's changes as they happen.

You can instantly share any mind map with friends and colleagues.

Real-Time Collaboration

When two or more users open the same mind map at the same time you are in brainstorming mode. Every change you make will be replicated instantly to your fellow editors' screens via our server. Through color-coded effects they will see what you did and vice versa, no reload necessary.

What people say

I just received an account for MindMeister, and I am totally blown away. Granted, there have been a couple alternatives available for some time, but MindMeister seems to be the most promising of them. IT Redux

At first glance, MindMeister looks very promising - certainly the best of the three web-based mind mapping applications I've seen so far. Chuck Frey, founder InnovationTools

If you haven't tried mind mapping yet, MindMeister is a great place to start. MindMeister offers features only a web-based tool can. Lifehacker
