To those who are not aware of Mind Mapping, it is a very interesting technique that promotes non-linear thinking and changes the way one thinks/organizes/presents. Google to understand more about this concept.
I started off with FreeMind, which is a free software available at http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page and can be used to develop mind maps. As is the case with many Open Source Software, it had a fork due to one of the core developers leaving the team. Result: Freeplane!
Apart from Freeplane having many more features, it is also more actively being developed compared to FreeMind, the latter of which is seeing very infrequent updates.
Freeplane is available for download at http://freeplane.sourceforge.net.
On a side note, I was shocked to learn that this technique is being taught to children nowadays at a level as early as elementary school education!
