Q&A: What is the Mindmaps Directory for?

A: We feel there is no better way to understand information maps of most types than to browse examples produced by many people around the world. We therefore collected hundreds of maps, founded the Mindmaps Directory and made them easy to browse with thumbnails.

A random collection of maps, however comprehensive, is not much use. There are a few of those around. We know that some form of filtering is needed, if these are to be useful, so we tagged all maps with the subjects they relate to, and categorized them by type of map. So just by clicking, you can elect to see, to give just three examples,

true mind maps about economics

concept maps about science

spidergrams about the Internet

You may have noticed that at the beginning, this answer says "information maps of most types". We need to explain the "most types": The exception is 3D mindmaps and 3D concept maps. These are not included because there are many static examples of these throughout the 3D Topicscape website, and also because to appreciate them, you must experience them: In 3D where you can fly, zoom and center the map around any chosen topic. That just doesn't work with a simple image.
