I would like to point out, however, that SmartDraw does much more than just mind maps. Brainstorming is often linked to mindmaps but matrix diagrams (http://www.smartdraw.com/encyclopedia/bcg-matrix-diagram.htm) are effective as well. Well, consultants sure like em. Heck, just getting ideas down in a program or on paper is a good first step =) Thanks for the mention. I would like to point out, however, that SmartDraw does much more than just mind maps.

It's not free, but it's much cheaper than some of its competitors. It's a pretty nice tool and it's easy to pick up because it works similarly to a word processing application.

I grew up mostly before computers, and new ideas still flow best for me out and onto paper! I use newsprint for big focused ideas, and a small notebook for the ideas that hit frequently throughout the day. The best brainstorming tool for me is a box of colored Sharpies and paper.

There are a bunch of others that are really cool, but my favorite is Mind Manager. There is also a free one called Cayra - check www.cayra.net. Also mind meiser is another web based one.

I have tried a few and this tool is feature rich and the least intrusive. You can do everything you need to from the keyboard so you can focus on just getting your ideas down.
