LMGTFY, I know, but would be interested on opinions and practices with HiveMind on N900. I like the idea, but as I said, have never used it or other Mindmapping tools.
I use it to make notes on books I am reading.

I typically install four main nodes for a novel I am reading:

Character Place Event Word.

Then under each I list all significant ones or associated ideas I think of.

I have used this basic process with many mindmapping programs.

As an example: in FBReader I see a new character. I highlight it and copy with Ctrl-C. With Ctrl-Bkspace I change to the Hivemind window. I create a new node under Character and paste the name with Ctrl-V. This gives me a running list of all characters.
