It's rare to look at a bookmarking tool and feel convinced that it's going to win a design award. Pearltrees is such a product. The French site offers us a new way to explore and contextualize the web. In what looks like a mind map structure, users collect "pearls" (links to articles, videos and web pages) and drag and drop them to form a body of knowledge that folds and expands upon itself. In an interview with Pearltrees CEO Patrice Lamothe, ReadWriteWeb found that company already has a loyal user base including our friends at ReadWriteFrance.

And like all visual metaphors it is best to see it rather than read a description. Here is a quick video and a sample image:

louisgray.com That summer posed the first real challenge with the arrival of the Siggraph trade show in Los Angeles. Our company, well before I had taken over the role, had selected an exhibit space of 400 square feet, with a standard 20 foot by 20 foot configuration. We had customized our booth after buying it from a company that had once seen better days. The previous events manager had kept the procedures around trade show planning an undocumented secret, so I set out weeks in advance to make sure we booked and shipped everything to Southern California in time for the important show. http://blog.louisgray.com/

http://www.ubergizmo.com/2009/04/pearltrees-visual-mapping-of-the-web/ Pearltrees - Pearltrees: Visual Mapping of The Web Pearltrees was in private beta until last month, and I had a demo with the co-founders last week. This innovative Web 2.0 app allows web users to build visual “maps” that organize web pages visually using “pearls” within a tree structure, see the picture above. Via a browser add-on, internet users can transform their daily browsing experience into a visual “pearl tree” and share it with other Pearltrees members. I like the concept a lot but it needs some user interface improvements, such as allowing actions from a contextual menu: delete, add as friend, play the map, explore neighborhood (and more) should be accessible with a right click.
