How do people typically use ThoughtOffice with Mind Mapping software? What’s the relationship between brainstorming and mind mapping?
We like to think of ThoughtOffice as the intelligence within Mind Maps – generating the “food” or “idea particles” for those Mind Maps. Currently, ThoughtOffice is used by creative professionals to generate ideas for use in their Mind Maps, which they then must copy & paste into their Mind Map application of choice. We plan to announce two new products soon, targeted at Mind Map users. The first new product will interface directly with ThoughtOffice, and will create Mind Maps, printed reports, timelines / Gantt charts, and more. The second is an API that will allow a direct connection between ThoughtOffice and MindManager, a popular mind mapping tool. We’ll have more public information available as the release date approaches.
