I use FreeMind, a mind mapping software, to keep and share my notes on the blogging sessions I have conducted for PodCamp WesternMass and others. One of the drawbacks for this version of software is how it exports. It works well for showing a section at a time and then hiding it to reduce clutter and confusion.
