It is called mind mapping. People tried them as mind maps. But are they really that what they seem to be?
A few years ago, I wrote together with Wallace Tait the “Visual Mapping: A Systematic Framework for Business Improvement” e-book (interested in this e-book? Send me a message and I send you a copy).
One of the thoughts behind that book was that computer mindmaps are not mindmaps in the traditional sense of the word. It is better to call a computer mindmap a visual map.

Last week we had a look at the mindmap showdown between mind mapping on paper and on your computer. Very interesting feedback, thanks a lot! It seems that most people are only using one of the two types of mapping information.
I have to admit that of my first 100 maps I created only 4 mindmaps on paper. These 4 were created during the training I took to learn how to mindmap and speedread. Then I arrived home after the training day and searched online for software tools.
