Brainstorming or Mind Mapping using Sticky Notes, or pen and paper can be a drag. You are always running out of space, having to erase as you develop new ideas, or move things around (and your notes lose their stick).

You can use FreeMind to:
1. Summarize information for a test
2. Create an outline for a story, essay or research paper
3. Present information to a group of people
