Visual Thesaurus

PlumbDesign's Visual Thesaurus is an impressive Java-enhanced web site which uses mind-mapping technologies to allow the visitor to use two- or three-dimensional connections to step through word relationships until the proper term is found. 

This is one of the types of applications where mind-mapping software such the The Brain really shines.  I consider these programs to be visually impressive but in the end practically useless as a quotidian (look it up) personal information tool, but the technology does have its niches where it can be truly striking.  This is clearly one of them.
