MindNode: free mind-mapping app for Mac OS X Leopard

Here's a nice productivity nugget: a free mind-mapper for Macs running the latest operating system. MindNode doesn't have all the bells and whistles of my favorite comparable app (MindManager, if you must know), but as we like to say around here: "free is good".

You can export your mind maps as .tiff, .pdf, .html, or .opml (which should make Dave Winer a happy camper). Plus, MindNode plays nicely with Quicklook, Spotlight and iChat Theater; I suspect you can share or collaborate in a virtual meeting of the minds. Or "mind" if you only have half a brain between you. ;) The download link might be getting hit pretty hard as I was unable to grab the app, but this is on my "to do" list for sure.

You should give FreeMind a try. I run it on Linux and Windows and it works great for me + has lots of exports options.

It is written in Java so will run on most platforms.
