Hi Cote, check out http://mindmeister.com/ for a great Mind Mapping cloud app (supports collaboration, editing history, google gears offline, and save as .mm files). Pretty nice. Cheers, Jeff

I think this is also a case where offline functionality is key. I'm normally a little skeptical of the prevalence of the "working from a plane scenario," but I could see being at a conference and having the internet go down. I'm dead if my notetaking app becomes unavailable in the middle of a presentation or a meeting.

I also agree that having a various number of collaborative integration points is critical due. This is especially true due to the fact that there is no "free tier," as you stated. I personally do most of my brainstorming in MM, but my team uses Mediawiki. It would be great to pull a wiki page into MM, do all of my mapping, and export back to the wiki. Bonus points if they could take the wiki code and display a read-only mind map of its contents somewhere on the page. In fact, I'd settle for a REST interface to the webapp so I could build this functionality myself.
