See Wikipedia subjects as mind maps

Friday, June 1st, 2007

This is fun.  wikimindmap will produce a mind map of any subject in Wikipedia.

 Go to http://www.wikimindmap.org/, select en.wikipedia.org from “Select a Wiki” and enter “Napoleon I of France” as your topic.  After a few seconds you will see this (but a better image):

Napoléon Bonaparte mind map

Click a green arrow and it makes a fresh mind map of the subject in that node.  Some nodes take you to the Wikipedia section, some to external sites (clearly marked). Some nodes expand on the spot - it all depends on the Wikipedia article’s structure.  The tool is obviously parsing and analyzing the Wikipedia syntax.

I think this is a wonderful and appealing resource.  How about you?
