Buzan was my hero. I started with speed reading and used mind maps extensively for college notes in the 1980's. I've dabbled with mind maps on and off ever since. On paper with multi-color pens they really help you explore an idea or information space, and they definitely help with retention.
OTOH I've never found a software implementation that worked, at least for me. There's something too tactile, unconstrained and creative about the pen-on-paper model.

I wonder if something electronic on a tablet with a stylus, that automatically syncs to your computer and is reformatted for that medium, would be closer?
