You’re right, it does. I excluded Mindjet connect early in my search because it doesn’t have presentation features—my focus—but it does allow collaboration. My earlier point—poorly phrased—was just that Freeplane doesn’t allow synchronous collaboration.

Do try Podio, too, for collaborative purposes. It’s got a vast range of free apps available, and you can even create your own. It’s one of the more impressive online collaborative efforts I’ve discovered recently. The pricing is good, too. What sets it apart is the ability to build your own apps, without being a programmer - oh, and the speed of the interface, which is impressively responsive.
it’s at http://podio.com
Cheers!

It is very impressive (though a bit too sophisticated for my current purpose). This is what Google Wave could have become…

Yes, and with Citrix behind it now, it’s probably going to be around for quite some time. The web collaboration field is finally being taken seriously.

Mind42 has recently received an important update making it overall cleaner, more intuitive and more responsive; according to the developer, it has been rebuilt from the ground up. See http://mind42.com/blog/post/2012/welcome-mind42-v20
Additionally, it is now fully free (ad supported) with no functionality limitations. If you don’t want ads, you can pay a very moderate sum (5 Euro per year, or 20 for lifetime) making this the most economical collaborative mind mapping solution that I am aware of. There’s even a Giveaway raffle until the end of January, via Facebook and Twitter. See http://mind42.com/blog/post/2012/introducing-ad-free-accounts-giveaway
