ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY BLOG | INVENTIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Eric Blue in his blog discussed the need for a common way for users of mindmapping applications to be able to view their maps on the web. Taking it upon himself he did a proof of concept called MindMap Viewer which allows you to use a variety of mind map formats, and display the maps inside a browser using a Java applet or Flash viewer. I for one applaud his efforts. I to would like to be able to use my mind mapping application and quickly publish my maps to the web. As Eric points out this is a proof of concept work and you may need to tread gingerly. In any case it speaks to our need to be able to publish our mindmaps quickly on the web so that we can share and collaborate.
