Using mind mapping to visually classify monitoring results

The results of a watch quickly accumulate into a maelstrom of information. Tagging is not enough to solve the problem.

Fortunately, a graphic technique known as mind mapping can help you get your head out of the flood of data. It gives you the overview you need to avoid getting bogged down in a fog of information. Free mind mapping software, Freeplane, lets you create computerized mind maps to make sense of your data. FreePlane is free, open source software.
