Digital GTD: Ajax-Enabled Mind-Mapping with Bubbl.us

Mind-mapping is one skill I’m still developing as a relatively new GTDer. I’ve tried a couple different apps, as well as plain old pen and paper. The latter works best for me (though, I’d be lying if I called any of my previous mind-mapping attempts wildly successful). But, if I were a digital GTDer, I can say bubbl.us is definitely worth a look. It’s about as web 2.0-ified as you can get, complete with rounded corners, pastel backgrounds and dripping with enough Ajax to choke a horse. But it’s definitely got the sexy thing happening

Gave it a quick go around, and it’s really easy to use. The TAB and Enter keys are your primary action keys, and there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of mouse required (something that makes me very happy, personally). I would think that being able to just type as fast as you can would be a terribly effective mind-mapping tool, rather than having to click on the “create new box” button, etc.

Anyway, though you guys might like to check this guy out – Happy Mapping!
