Real-time collaboration with Comapping on-line mind maps
Comapping is a new on-line mind mapping application that supports real-time collaboration (COllaboration + mind MAPPING).
- multiple users can collaborate simultaneously
- export/ import (Word, MindManager etc.)
- collapsing lists
- create slideshows from your maps
- ribbon interface like Office 2007
- recovery of deleted maps or map parts
- add hyperlinks inside a Comap
- task management to coordinate collaboration
There is one aspect that most mind mappers might find a little quirky; Comaps are organized left to right. This is billed as a feature, “providing much faster overview of your semantic structure.” While it might provide a more logical approach to scanning, it defeats the purpose of the free-form nature of mind mapping.
Otherwise, this looks like as full-featured an on-line mind-mapping service as is available. I imported a map I had created in MindManager, and it rendered it completely with no problems.
This is not a free service. The current cost is $11.99 for a half-year subscription. You can share maps for free viewing, but for others to collaborate, they will need to sign up for the six month subscription. There is a 30 day free trial and a free demo map for viewing.

Isn’t the “ribbon interface like Office 2007″ patented by MS?
