Thing #14

For this "thing" I chose one mind map and one flow chart to explore.

The mind map that I chose is called bubbl.us... It is really "bubbly!" I like that it is easy to use. When you scroll your mouse over an icon, it tells you what it does on the right side in a bar. When you want to connect one bubble to another, it shows you how. Also, you can change the colors of your bubbles. I really like this application.

The flow chart that I chose to explore is called gliffy. This is more of a creative "start from scratch" application. You make the shapes, lines, colors, words, etc. It seems a little more difficult to make than the mind map, but it still seems pretty simple. I liked this one, as well, but I am leaning my favor towards the mind map.
