Are these still the best tools to input, manage and synthesize diverse and complex information? Also is there any really good collaborative mind map/ contact map available, I found quite a few online but maybe something is more suitable for designers? Any suggestions welcome! Also, Has anyone come across Design history and pedagogy that has been data visualized in the form of a dynamic concept map or mind map? Something similar to the ImpulsBauhaus installation below? http://vimeo.com/5333614 cheers and many thanks! -- Ranjit Menon TAIK Helsinki
