I am a huge fan of mind mapping...really believe you can truly develop an idea when you chart it out and look at it from a number of angles. A friend of mine knows this about me, and when they discovered Visual Thesaurus they knew I would love it as well because it uses the same principles and applies it to words and the many meanings they can possess.
"The Visual Thesaurus takes a unique, and remarkably beautiful, approach to presenting the results of a word lookup. Discover and learn from nearly 140,000 words, meanings and relationships" From the site
The English language is complex enough - using a program like Visual Thesaurus can start to show you the relationship between words and meanings in a profound way and it is a great time waster too. be careful it only gives you a couple of chances to look up words before it makes you buy the program.
VERY COOL!!!
