FreeMind Brainstorming Ideas
By Dirk C Wallace
Free things are pretty good. Who does not like to get something
for nothing? Software is especially great because so many programs
can cost hundreds of dollars. So, if you can find a mind mapping
software to use for your projects and that software is free...you
are really lucky.
But there are many free software programs on the internet that
claim to be able to help the mind mapping process. How do you
choose? The answer usually lies in user and internet website reviews.
Easy To Use Mind Mapping Software
When you have "techies" claiming a mind mapping software
is easy to use and great, such as the case with FreeMind, then
you may have a winner.
FreeMind is the type of mind mapping software that really anyone
can use. If you have a Window’s based operating system then you
have most of the requirements under control. Just find a website
that has the program as a shareware and download it.
A Simple User Interface
The program allows you or a team to put in a problem and then
brainstorm about it. By letting go of linear thinking and simply
putting in different ideas you can get the answer or find the
solution to the problem.
The user interface is pretty simple. You can put in thoughts,
words or even sentences into a diagram. The diagram resembles
a tree somewhat. You have the central topic in a bold color and
then you have lines, or thought boxes, that come off of the main
idea.
Brainstorming Ideas To Get To A Solution
The goal is to review your options and get you to creatively
brainstorm on the central topic until you have reached a logical
conclusion or find the answer that you seek. Some people might
use meditation but those more technologically gifted turn to software
programs.
But there is a problem with the software. Many people are finding
that the program has bugs or issues which prevent more of the
basic uses. That has to make you wonder if it is truly worth your
time and effort.
Some people will question whether or not the editors at Cnet.com
actually investigate and try out software programs or if they
simply just give them random stars based on user reviews.
Rated Four Out Of Five Stars By Cnet.com Editors
The answer is that the editors really do research and try out
the software before giving it a positive or negative review. In
the case of FreeMind the editors and the users gave the software
four out of five stars.
The only catch they made was to make sure to use version 0.8.1
so you would not run into any spyware. All in all it seems like
this mind mapping software is definitely worth you taking a look
at and trying out.
