How To Plan a Drupal Site: Introducing Mindmaps

Hi all,
so, following my last post, here is a great tool I've recently started using for all of my large scale Drupal projects, mind42.com.  Mind42.com is an online Mindmapping software that allows you to create some crazy mindmaps and organize your thoughts before you even begin installing Drupal.

Whats a Mindmap?

For those who are unfamiliar, according to wikipedia, a mindmap is:

a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid to studying and organizing information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing.

Here is an example I did very recently after thinking about how to take my business a step further (it's extremely basic but you should get the idea):

Why I'm Suggesting Mindmaps

I'm in no way affiliated with mindmap42.com but I do think it's an awsome tool to clear your head. Especially if you are working on a site that has the potential to be huge. Developing a mindmap can help identify client funneling, site functionality, site evolution, etc. The possibilities are limitless really. But that said, I thought I would share this tool with you in the event you find it just as cool as I did.
