5. Touchgraph SEO Maping for keywords:

This not so popular keyword tool that I use which acts very much like the now removed, Google Wonderwheel. It serves as a great replacement and maps out both keywords and companies and can show you how they are visually related. I usual use this tool as a good measure of a companies digital footprint as well as keyword research.
