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

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.
