Cruising past the thousand: the best mindmaps

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

The Internet’s best mindmaps library just uploaded 11 more links and thumbnails to superb mindmaps and concept maps, taking it past the 1,000 entries mark.

We think it’s the best mind maps library out there, with maps selected for their originality, creativity and usefulness, as an inspiration to everyone in the mindmapping community.  Every map is classified by type (true mindmaps, spidergrams, concept maps, bubble diagrams and more), and tagged by topic, so you can do a filtered search to narrow down your view to, for example, just concept maps about science, or just true mindmaps about creativity.

Every thumbnail image is linked to the map’s original website where in most cases you can find the full-sized map, and often an article built around it.

New Mindmaps Directory entries

There are some more outstanding mind maps from Adam Sicinski on line now at the Mindmaps Directory

The new ones will be helpful to students encountering Shakespeare’s plays for the first time.  There are more than I’ve shown here.

Rich and beautifully drawn mind maps on life skills

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Adam Sicinski just pointed me towards his website studymatrixart.com, [update, Sept 2008: he's moved it to IQmatrix] in case I felt they had a place in the Mindmaps Directory and I found a wealth of outstandingly-drawn mind maps there.  Well worth a visit and, for now, all on the Directory’s front page.

These maps have a focus on life skills: time management, study, improving memory, relationships, handling stress, weight loss and happiness.

Mindmaps directory update

Monday, April 7th, 2008

The Mindmaps Directory has taken a leap in size.  Now it has 877 maps from all over the web.  Unlike other libraries that make exagerated claims but don’t let you browse to see how many there really are (only search for a term or see  ‘popular’ ones) you can explore our full directory - page by page.

Hand-picked, classified by map type and tagged, these offer a growing and serious resource for students and businesses.  So you can search by word, click the tag cloud to see all on a given subject, or narrow what you see to just a particular type – concept maps, say, mindmaps, or tree diagrams.
