    For mind mapping I’d also recommend SpiderScribe.net – it lets you also connect images, files, even calendar events and Google maps

    Try mySimpleSurface.com. Quickly note ideas in a semi structured whiteboard style environment and share with colleagues. We find far more productive than project management software, less structured and more powerful than task lists. A great tool.
