WikiMindMap – Wiki through Mindmap

with 4 comments

With public wikis, such as Wikipedia, becoming more complex and info-enriched, it may sometimes become confusing and take time to find the desired info.

WikiMindmap comes to your rescue by helping you create a auto-mindmap of the wiki topic of your choice. It searches any term on Wikipedia and automatically creates a structured and easy understandable overview of the Wikipedia page of that term.

Currently, you can search and access Wikipedia upto 5 languages and only MediaWiki type wikis. If you want to suggest additional public wiki, you may drop a mail @list_at_wikimindmap_dot_org

I typed in the word “Genetics” and you can see the overview of the wiki pages of “Genetics” topic as a mindmap with the main sections as nodes and expandable branch, revealing details. You can go to the corresponding Wikipedia link by clicking on a topic. It even gives a preview of the page content by pointing the cursor to the selected topic. I think that this will be helpful in searching required info quickly in my field. Try out yourself with topic of your choice and explore other features.

Came to know of this via Soulsoup, and thought of using this for genetics.
