brainstorming made easy

Got a brain cramp? There are so many sites available on the web to help us come up with bigger and better ideas. The following is a “hot list” of tools that do just that…


ConceptShare allows you to upload projects and share them with clients, managers, co-workers, friends for feedback. Once you’ve invited people to your project workspace, you can have everyone review and comment at the simultaneously or separately.
They do offer a free trial so you can try it out. Or you can purchase a Small Business package ($99/month USD) or an Enterprise package ($199/month USD). Other packages are available.

Thinkature and Skrbl are white board applications that let you upload images, insert type and draw just like you would do in a typical brainstorming session. Skrbl also enables users to create a widget for their websites and blogs.

Bubbl.us is another free web application that lets you brainstorm online, enabling you to create mind maps that you can share with friends and import into a website or blog.
