Mind Mapping Tools

Making mind-maps can be a meesy business. If you want to make neat ones online, here are a couple websites that help you make mind-maps.

Inspiration.com - This site lets you download a trial verison of the program they sell. It only works for 30 days, but that should be long enough to finish this section on culture.
Mayomi.com - This is a free site that lets you make a mind-map online. You need to register before you can make your map, but it's free and pretty simple.
