There are many ways to organise events, from business-style project management, through to calendar-based programs, task lists and so on.

More recently, people have been experimenting with visual ways to organise information, assign tasks and explain processes by creating what’s usually called a ‘mind map’, where everything is presented as a graphical object – the result looks a bit like a cross between a family tree and a flow diagram.

The oddly-named Bubbl is a new web-based service that makes it easy to create highly visual maps in this style that can then be printed out, pasted into an existing website, shared with others – and even created collaboratively with other Bubbl users, to organise almost anything. This Workshop explains the site’s basic features.
