Capture Ideas For Your Mind Map Via Firefox Search Box or iGoogle
MindMeister, a web based tool for creating mind maps online, provides some very unique options for capturing and inserting ideas into an existing mind map without having to load the map.
IE and Firefox users can type their "idea" into the browser search box and it will automatically get added as a new node to the default mind map.
Then there’s a Windows Vista gadget to capture ideas from the desktop pretty similar to GyroQ that’s available for Mindjet MindManager. Likewise iGoogle users can capture ideas straight from the Google homepage.
Once you have all your ideas / notes added to the mind map, you can arrange nodes into branches via drag-n-drop. MindMeister also lets you edit mind maps offline using Google Gears. Useful.

Hmm. great idea.!!!
cool idea - though would feel a bit safer having software open and doing it manually.
How many tasks will it hold before having to download?
Assume you could pop URLs in there - what is max number of characters?
(way to many questions??) doh! that was another question….
cheers from down under

Freemind is another such tool…(http://freemind.sourceforge.net which is very handy in explaining ideas..
