Technologies to support visual and spatial writers

It's something I've touched on before here....the fact that there are very few technologies that really support visual and spatial thinking. OK mind maps - actually the barely do it for me or many other students.

Some tools that are FAIRLY useful are...

visual thesaurus
visual mindmap (thinker something or other)
google image search, corbis, getty images

What else do we have?
OCR on phones MIGHT help with little scribbles
and photos to flickr is handy....

Shows different ways to brainstorm offline using paper...can this be facilitated online?
