A Mind Map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central key word or idea. In WoW, information are structured as Idea trees, however WoW also allows ideas be linked to elsewhere than their origins, thus actually a web of ideas is stored by WoW.

WoW is a web based, realtime Mind-Mapping software tool compared to others. For more Mind Mapping softwares on our planet, check the great list at: mind-mapping.org - A respected source of information on mindmapping and information management software

Collaborative working with WoW is fancy!! When you create new ideas, others see them appear immediately, even from the other end of the world! At the same time, WoW supports per node Instant-Messaging, as well as Tracing back of old ideas and messages.

Web of Web features strong and flexible Security Management. Security Constraints are intuitively seen and maintained as part of Mind Maps in WoW. BTW, WoW creates secure channels (AES session key exchanged after RSA encryption) to submit your sensitive data - like loginid and password - on top of plain HTTP connections.

WoW is sharing, by nature! You can embed any Mind Map at any WoW site into any web page. Do this visually with Google Page Creator, or just select the Gadget into your personalized iGoogle Home Page. If you write HTML pages yourself, it's even easier that just an iframe with its src pointing to a WoW Map URL does the trick.

You have tons of reasons not to use a browser sometime doing Mind-Mapping. Try start standalone WoW traversers in such situations with Java™ Web Start! You see traverse in all WoW Map URLs, just replace it with webstart and launch! Feel free to bookmark such links or put them in any web page.
