CmapTools – Concept Mapping

This is the main map from their home page.  You can click on the icons under the text to see hover text, then click again to jump to that page, which is an additional concept map.  I like that you can sort of read them as English sentences, while still retaining the relationships of a diagram.

It looks pretty cool, though I’d think it would be slow to develop each map.  Much slower than a mindmap for example.  But I think having a tool to create these diagrams would be very helpful, especially when they get large and you want to be able to drill down into sub-concepts.
