What they say:  " 3D Topicscape: The information organizer for mindmappers and others.
A flexible way to plan new projects and manage information. It's like concept mapping or mindmapping, but in 3D. You can even import FreeMind mind maps to build a 3D view from work you've already done in 2D (and export them again).

- take in your To Do lists with just a glance at your 3D landscape; zoom in on part of the landscape and go back instantly; make live links to Outlook tasks, contacts, etc. (in Pro).

- use the information organizer developed for mindmappers and project managers, easy for all to use

- research on the web while saving many web pages in parallel as .mht archives. No waiting, just drop onto the 3D landscape and keep surfing

- greatly expand your mindmapping capabilities."
Observations:  3D concept mapping / mindmapping software. Lets you see much more at one time than any other product I've seen. Allows 3D zooming and flying. One Topicscape can hold a very large collection of nodes and files - into the thousands it seems. Topicscapes can be interlinked. The Student Edition (SE) is free but it's limited to storing text and web files.
There's an example of how the 3-D format works here that might be helpful:- http://www.topicscape.com/Topicscape-3D-mindmap-structure-explained.php

What they say:  " Open source free product WoW which leverages a Mindmap interface, and it should excite some since it brings Mindmaps from desktops to the interconnected Web space. It serves Mindmaps fully interactive and collaborative, in a realtime manner, peoples across the world can see each others update immediatelly, they can even talk through instant messages on each node, separately.

All users' home nodes are listed at www.webofweb.net/traverse/Users"
Observations:  Author says it requires the latest Java runtime, 1.5, the latest version from http://www.java.com. JRE 1.5.0 update 7 and before will have problems with WoW.
