With Mind42 mind mapping services, you can do a lot brainstorming drawing stuff with their features like:

• Real-time collaboration on mind maps
• A clean and large work area. Toolbar buttons are located on the left side of the workspace, leaving as much room as possible for the map itself.
• A “birdview” that gives you a valuable overview of larger, more complex maps. You can also use this viewport to navigate your map, and its window can be dragged around the workspace.
• The ability to add notes, web links and icons to your map nodes (most web-based mind map apps offer one or two of these options, but not all three). You can also add a links to Wikipedia articles to your map, which seems like kind of an odd feature. When you click on the “add file” icon and select this option, a dialogue box pops up with a Wikipedia search box. You can also add to-do lists to your map topics – certainly a unique feature.
• Good support for keyboard commands for common operations, such as adding a new idea as a child topic or at the same level as the current topic
• When you click on a hyperlink icon in your map, a little “conversation balloon” pops up displaying the URL and a thumbnail image of the web page – nice! You can then use the URL to navigate to the page. What’s nice about this is it gives you a little preview of what you’re going to see if you navigate to the page, before you go there.
• You can add multiple files and notes to a single topic
• Excellent support for exporting your maps to FreeMind, MindManager and RTF formats.
