I liked Gliffy flowcharts and Bubbl.us the most. I created accounts with both sites. I would recommend both to my students and colleagues. They were really easy to use. The tools and features available on Gliffy are great for productivity. I made the flowchart of plant classification below in about 15 minutes. It was really to add shapes, insert text and connect boxes. This a very simple flowchart. Gliffy has the features available to make really elaborate flowcharts.
I also liked Bubbl.us for mind mapping. It is really good for jotting down ideas and connecting related ones when brainstorming. I brainstorm (or at least weigh a lot of options in my all the time) constantly so I like having a place like Bubbl.us to go a write them down and store them for later. It is also a good place to store ideas that you have for later contemplation. Below is a short mind map of my living situation within the next year and what I plan to do after graduating.
