Mind42 is a free online and collaborative mindmapping software. Very handy for quickly outlining ideas in a heirarchical fashion. We use mindmapping tools early in the design and planning phase of projects because it’s so easy to construct a picture of what you’re thinking and communicate a lot of thinking in an easy way. Give it a try!

Mind42 is cool. This whole area has gone crazy in the past months and there’s a collection of this type of web-service now. These are all browser-based applications that support on-line collaboration in making mind maps, concept maps, or diagrams in one way or another:
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
mind42.com you mentioned
mindmeister.com :- Collaborative mind mapping
mindomo.com :- Collaborative mind mapping
wisemapping.com :- Collaborative mind mapping
webofweb.net :- Collaborative mind mapping
And there are some generic diagramming tools that have mind-mapping capability:
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
