Want a free online tool to help you brainstorm? Bubbl.us is a simple online tool which allows you to create mind-maps, and some basic diagrams, really easily.
With Bubbl.us you can create as many boxes as you want, move them to wherever you want them to go, select your colours, and export your mind-maps in a number of different formats.
You don’t even have to register to use the tool, although registering does have its advantages. When you register you can save mind-maps and finish them at a later date or invite others by email to add to your mind-maps.
Here is an example of a mind-map created with Bubbl.us.

Perhaps the best thing about Bubbl.us is its simplicity because it won’t take you long to figure out how to use it, but if would like a free mind-mapping tool with more functionality you might want to take a look at Mindomo. Mindomo will take a bit longer to learn how to use, and you have to register, but you can do a lot more with it.

This is quite a up-to-date information. I think I’ll share it on Facebook.
