The two Web 2.0 apps I chose for this Thing were Gliffy and MindMeister. I found that MindMeister was much easier to use, as connecting new bubbles was automatic, whereas in Gliffy you had to make the connections manually. However, this makes send as a mind map generally just shows a relation to a central idea. Flowcharts don't center on an idea per se, but instead show a flow of logic between two points or a multitude of points.
If I were to use one of them, I would most likely choose MindMeister, because of its ease of use. It would be a useful tool to map out certain ideas, like how to write a good scientific paper. A flow chart could also be used this way, but Gliffy just requires more work to connect the pieces.
