Mind map search engine
http://www.mindmapsearch.org/
This is the Google Co-op mindmapping search engine's new site. As before, if you do a search you will rarely get any results that do not relate to mind mapping.
As well as the original site's search engine box, this now has 17 category pages of sites with brief descriptions. These sites make up the sources on which the search engine draws. Where a site is mainly about mind mapping, the link is to the front page. If a site is mainly about other topics but has good mind mapping references as well, there’s a link to the front page and one or more links to the specific mind mapping items.

Mind Maps* - A Powerful Approach to Note Taking
Mind Maps are very important techniques for improving the way you take notes. By using Mind Maps you show the structure of the subject and linkages between points, as well as the raw facts contained in normal notes. Mind Maps hold information in a format that your mind will find easy to remember and quick to review.
Mind Maps abandon the list format of conventional note-taking. They do this in favor of a two-dimensional structure. A good Mind Map shows the 'shape' of the subject, the relative importance of individual points and the way in which one fact relates to other.
