Again I stumbled across another great piece of mind engineering that is open source, which made it whole lot better. Xmind, this is probably the coolest brainstorming and mind mapping software on the planet today. With Xmind we can share ideas, brainstorm, make lots of sketches, participate and share with our peers and collaborators. Ubidesk is about organization matter, Xmind is about freedom of exploration. This is an excerp taken off the official site {xtypo_quote}XMind, combined with online sharing service, provides a revolutionary way to enable both team brainstorming and personal mind mapping. With this major upgrade, we bring Web 2.0 concepts on community sharing into a popular desktop application. New Gantt view allows project managers to easily track project tasks and schedules.

We stumbled upon this great online tool for team collaboration and project management, Ubidesk. This online tool offers Fresh & Comprehensive Online Team Collaboration space where owners can run team projects with document collaboration and task management. Another nice treat is that Ubidesk is being offered as a SaaS (Software as a Service), and you can use it through your web browser anywhere, anytime. So far the service is free with upgrade feature to professional level at low price. Give Ubidesk a shot, ER Living Brand has and we are starting to use it among our remote coders and designers.
