Pearltrees is still in beta, so can only improve. It takes a little time to understand the interface, and quite a bit more time to think about what you’d like to store and how, (no-one likes filing), but I think the end result is worth the effort. Perhaps it may ruin the clean look of Pearltrees, and go beyond what the founders are trying to achieve, but I’d like to see the group add the ability for users to comment on the content that they have added to their trees, within the site. Without the added element of connection or reminders, del.icio.us quickly became stale for me. (Incidentally you can easily import your del.icio.us tags into Pearltrees). Pearltrees sends you an email when the people you’re connected to on Pearltrees add one of your content pearls to their tree.
At this point, I almost fell out of my chair thinking about the possibilities. Using Pearltrees in conjunction with a touch interface would be extremely practical. Rather than swiping down long lists of links to find articles, images or videos, users could tap on their desired pearl and follow the connectors to the information they wanted.
