I would not want to work on the projects I do without using a Mind Map program. In fact, we have a great Mind Map for the Home Office Warrior. Using such a tool is a great way to take a project from start to finish. I use Mindjet’s MindManager 7 for the Mac.
However, it is a bit pricey. Well, there is now an alternative if price is an issue. Mind 42.com is currently in Beta and is free. I have played around with it a little. Not as powerful as Mindjet’s MindManager 7 for the Mac.. But, still provides the basic’s.

Mind 42 isn’t bad because it’s free, as you say, but there are other free ones, as well as some that let you have a few maps free. Here’s a list of all the other web-based applications that do mind mapping and concept mapping in a browser:
bubbl.us Collaborative mind mapping (radiant format not enforced)
comapping.com :- Collaborative (but, for people who like free-format mind mapping, rigid) left-to-right mind mapping
glinkr.net :- Concept mapping and mind mapping (shared but not collaborative)
mindmaps.kayuda.com :- Collaborative mind mapping and concept mapping
mappio.com :- Unusual mind mapper where the user edits indented text to change the mind map
mapul.com :- Collaborative mind mapping with an organic flavour
mindmeister.com :- Collaborative mind mapping
mindomo.com :- Collaborative mind mapping
wikimindmap.org :- Make mind maps from WikiMedia articles
wisemapping.com :- Collaborative mind mapping
webofweb.net :- Collaborative mind mapping
And some diagram drawing software does mind mapping well:
cumulatelabs.com/cumulatedraw/ :- Collaborative diagramming – can draw mind maps and concept maps
flowchart.com :- Collaborative diagramming – can draw mind maps and concept maps
gliffy.com :- Collaborative diagramming – can draw mind maps and concept maps
thinkature.com :- Collaborative on-line whiteboard service - can draw mind maps and concept maps

Hi, if you like mind42. You should also check Mindomo, mindmaster or comaping. They offer more features than mind42 right now.
Best,
Alex.
Actually the best two Mind Mapping programs are IMindMap http://www.imindmap.com.au and MindGenius http://www.mindgenius.com.au
They are quite different from each other and all other software programs.
IMindMap is the most like hand drawn mind maps and was just release this year
MindGenius it quick and fast and gives you the flexibility to change to other parent/child relationship diagrams such as an org chart.
I use both every day and find that it helps organise my thinking and planning.
