I'm a developer working on the site, and a former MindMeister user, so I can give you my biased perspective. It would be nice if someone who is a user of both systems provides an unbiased one.

advantages: it's free, opensource, doesn't hold you ransom for your data, we aim to create a zero-friction interface

disadvantages: less features. mindmup is a month and a half old project, and we develop the stuff we need + the top voted user demands, so MindMeister has many many more features.

Thanks. We have both import/export from Freemind, so you can take MindMup files offline as well.

we could probably make it work offline as a chrome app, not sure if offline work with all browsers is a viable option. would chrome app be good enough for you?

Yes, that's why we built it as well. The basic use case is knocking up maps quickly during a meeting. Please vote for folding on the site if it's important, we aim to invest as much as we can on working on the top voted feature group.

export to freemind is done, will go live tomorrow. folding is also in the plan. you can make it go live earlier by - voting directly on http://www.mindmup.com/#vote - or forking on github and submitting a patch :)

is search the only thing that would be better with SVG?

we opted for canvas as it gives us better visualisation capabilities in the future. we could easily provide searching with canvas by overriding ctrl+f.

Thanks. We still need to clean up the code a bit, and should be publishing more docs on how the thing is structured this week, so keep your eye on our github repo.

We just pushed out the first public beta of a new mind mapping app with the aim to make it the most productive mind mapping canvas out there. We're planning to properly opensource the code soon. We'd love to hear your feedback on how to improve it.

and here's another one. Wheel patented (in Australia) as a "circular transportation facilitation device" http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn965-wheel-patented-in-...

how about this one as well http://www.google.co.uk/patents/US6004596

Every single team I worked with over the last few years complained that they didn’t have enough time. Here are three useful strategies to solve that problem!

Here's a beta version of my new book, on Effect Mapping - a simple yet incredibly powerful planning method that fits in nicely with lean startup ideas, iterative/agile delivery and design thinking.

the nice thing about scala and erlang is that you get everything (threading, messaging, remoting, process control) with the framework, so all your code needs to be concerned about is the business functionality.

I haven't used this library, but google says it's ruby actors: http://revactor.org/

During the Embedding Agile Methods mini-conference in London last week, Keith Richards suggested several interesting techniques for checking how a software project is going.
