MindMeister Upgrades to Version 2.0
You will all know that I love Mind Mapping, and I also love MindMeister, the online Mind Mapping Collaboration tool.
Well, the guys at MindMeister have just updated their software to version 2.0 and included a few cool features.
What’s New in MindMeister?
Our users often tell us that they like MindMeister because of its intuitive interface and overall simplicity. That’s why we try to add only the most necessary features in new releases – and still, this time it turned out to be quite a long list
Oh, and don’t fret if you can’t find your pet feature below, in spite of all the talk about simplicity some more updates are coming soon!
Task information on ideas
As a first step to lightweight project management in MindMeister you can now add task information – priority, completion, due date and owner – to ideas. More to come!Attachments on ideas
You can now upload file attachments to ideas and preview images through inline thumbnails. This feature is for Premium users only, but everybody can try it out for 30 days.WunderLink and WunderNote
Try out these new functions to magically add links and notes to your ideas, using the wonders of the web. WunderLink gets its link from a little Yahoo! search performed in the background, while WunderNote uses a FreeBase database lookup.Automatic text wraps
Idea captions will now automatically wrap at a certain length to avoid overlong nodes (you can keep the old behaviour by adding manual line breaks with Shift-RETURN)More Geistesblitz features
In our constant quest to improve the Geistesblitz tools we have now added email support and a Geistesblitz Activity for Internet Explorer 8. With email support, you can send single Geistesblitzes or while mind maps just through an email.Subsharing for maps

So how well does MindMeister 2.0 allow for GTD methodology? Should it be included in this list:
98+ GTD Software Apps
The criteria for inclusion is found here:
What Constitutes GTD or “GTD-like” Software?
Thanks for the heads up of this software.
ReplyHi Kevin,
It is not really a true GTD App. I use it more for planning and brainstorming ideas as it helps map the left and right sides of your brain. Your retention of information that you have “mapped” is much higher than traditional linear notes.
Thanks,
Andrew..
