2. Why Mindjet
Marshall believes that hierarchical,
non-linear thinking can be of great
benefit to many endeavors and that
mind maps are great for facilitating
that kind of thinking.
Favorite Feature
The kinesthetic feel of the iPad app.
I used to think that mind mapping
was for dorks. Then I discovered
some of the leading voices online
that talk about mind mapping…
I saw the work they were doing and
realized just how powerful this type
of visual communication could be.
