Anyway, it also applies, though IMO less so, to art. But there have been some great works written about both music and art, viz: The Foundations of Modern Art, by Ozenfant The Magic of Tone and the Art of Music, in my opinion the most profound book about music.

Until now mind mapping required users to enter the information by hand. What Mindjet is doing is exploiting the power of mapping for information that exists in a database - in this case a customer database. In this instance MindManager now becomes a sales productivity tool helping sales teams 'rise' about the wealth of information in their CRM system enabling them to see what's really happening in their accounts.
