There's only one missing: Mind42 (www.mind42.com). [And it's free!]

Mark Salamango, CEO of Spinscape, gave me a demo of this new web-based app a month ago, and I was impressed with what I saw. It's an intriguing blend of mind mapping and information discovery. Its "plugins" enable you to perform web searches (Google, Wikipedia and others) and select search results that you want to add to your visual map. If you need to do online research, this could represent a big productivity boost, because you wouldn't have to copy and paste relevant information from one program into another.

What about the MindJet MindManager? I haven't used it, but I've read about it. Offers free 21-day trial http://www.mindjet.com/us/download/

I use Mindjet MindManager in my office - I bought copies of it for all my staff. It's a wonderful mind mapping software. You can use it to automatically generate powerpoint presentations from a brainstorming session. You can also do things like manage project plans and even insert RSS feeds (I was trying it out with Reqall as a personal information manager - works well, but the Reqall RSS feed isn't quite ready for prime time).

The biggest change since I've begun using it (started last summer) is in how I take meeting notes. I use the mind map format using pen and paper and then put it into mind manager. Works great for distributing information in an easy format.
