For thing 14, I created a Flowchart account and played with mindmaps on mindmeister.com. Frankly, I found Flowchart relatively simple to understand with its choices of basic layouts that could be used, altered, or recreated, whereas I found mindmeister.com to be difficult. For the mind maps on mindmeister, I had to create from scratch. Also, flowcharts were more concrete, where mind maps were relatively abstract. In this I mean that there were solid connection in both cases, but a flowchart used straight arrows, block shapes, and even a grid to keep everything looking professional. A mind map on mindmeister was bubbly and random. Mindmeister would be a fun tool for a random connection of thoughts, however for a straight play-by-play of events, such as a timeline or a family tree, the flowchart seems to be the more realistic choice. Although a sample was not requested, I included the fun I had on Flowchart.com differentiating solar and lunar eclipses.
