Pearltrees News/Coverage. Understanding Pearltrees: A New Way To Organize Web Content. Many people search the web, read content every day and share that content. While advances in search technology has made finding information easier and easier, saving and organizing information in a way that captures a story or conversation can still be very challenging. I just posted on Techmamas.com about my first experience with Pearltrees.com; I was on a Traveling Geeks trip to LeWeb and Pearltrees was one of the French companies we met.

Being a visual person, the Pearltrees online application offered me the tools to capture and organize online information in a visual format that also reflected the storyline behind the issue being discussed. I decided that my next step was to use it and see what happens. I easily created Pearltrees for conversations, issues and topic areas I am researching. Months later, when I took on a project as adviser to Pearltrees, I had the opportunity to learn even more about the site and share the information I learned.

A Pearltree is made up of Pearls. 1. Meet Pearltrees: Bookmarks with a social twist. A French Web site, called Pearltrees, is developing a Web service that is trying to bring a social networking element to bookmarking - but with the connections based on content instead of people. Think Facebook and Twitter mixed with one Amazon's recommendation system. You don't add friends in Pearltrees. Instead, you add links. As you come across something on the Internet that interests you, something that you might have otherwise bookmarked or tweet, you put it in your personal pearltree - which is really like a "main folder," that contain the links themselves, called "pearls.

" Here's the trick: if there are others on Pearltree who have also posted that same URL into one of their own pearltrees, you are now connected and can see their other links. No, that doesn't mean you're "friends" with that person or that you are even "following" them. The service, which is free, is still in alpha mode and has limited functionality and exposure. Pearltrees Once Again Evolves The Way We Bookmark Our Favorite Sites | Small Business Conversations by Network Solutions. A new web paradigm: Pearltrees.

Screenshot tour: Pearltrees tries to be graphical Delicious of the future; fails. Pearltrees is a fledgling social bookmarking service, which tries to break away from the tagging paradigm. Instead, each bookmark is a "pearl", and the pearls are linked into trees. You can see all of your bookmarks on a large Flash-based canvas, and drag them around. The site is tightly integrated with a Firefox add-on for creating "pearls". The idea sounded intriguing, so I decided to take the site + add-on combo for a spin. Since the site itself is so visual, I documented the tour in a series of screenshots which you can see after the jump. So here's the overview screenshot again, this time with a bit of an explanation: You can see the edge of the default "pearl tree" you get when you sign up, along with a thumbnail of a destination page (YouTube, in this case).

The thumbnail is a static image, of course. The add-on creates three buttons next to your address bar. The add-on exposes its settings via a weird "Options" menu. This is the bottom bar of the canvas. Use Pearltrees to Browse Web Pages Faster Than Thru a Browser. Pearltrees launches Twitter sync and reveals its social system. [France] Paris-based Pearltrees has been catching interest around the web the last few days not least because a gaggle influential Silicon Valley bloggers have descended on Paris for Le Web, but mainly because of its interesting model for visually mapping how people collect and share information on the Web. But today the startup opens the kimono on its full system.

They will announce two new things today: Twitter synchronization (enabling a user to create a pearl automatically from Twitter and to tweet automatically from their new Pearltrees), Pearltrees search, Real time discussion and connection. The other new aspect announced today on stage at Le Web is the Pearltrees Social System. But to explain first, here’s a new video they just released: Pearltrees is effectively visual social bookmarking and therefore has the potential to be more widely used than perhaps the traditional alternatives. If you recall, Twitter was a stream, but with people’s pictures. Pearltrees, the Social Curation Tool | Virtual Simplicity. If there is one thing I like about koozies, that is their ability to become a unique and personalized gift. Regardless of where you will be handing them out, a koozie can be ideal memento for any occasion, whether it be for a get-together, corporate party, fundraiser, or a sports celebration.

A koozie is a highly functional and innovative product recognized for its many uses. Koozies at www.getkoozies.com can embellished with a design of your own choosing. You will be given the opportunity to select the design that you want to be printed on the koozies. So, for instance, if you will be using them for a fundraising event, you can have a personalized message imprinted on them. This way your guests would know who will be benefiting from their donations. Personalized koozies are excellent souvenirs that can be handed out to guests to honor and perpetuate any occasion (i.e. reunion, weddings, birthdays, or other special events).

Posted by Tom Foremski - April 12, 2010 My buddy Dave Galbraith is the first person I remember to first start talking about curation and the Internet, several years ago. He even named his company Curations, and created a tool/site for curation: Wists. And his site SmashingTelly - is great example of curation, a hand-picked collection of great videos. Today, much is written about curation and the Internet but it all seems mostly talk because we don't really have the tools we need. Curation seems to be just a new way to describe things like blogging and "Editor's Picks. " Robert Scoble writes about The Seven Needs of Real-Time Curators "... who does curation? Reading Robert Scoble's post on curation, it almost seemed as if he were describing PearlTrees, a company I've recently been working with in an advisory role, when he talks about "info atoms and molecules.

" ...what are info atoms? More to come... We might talk a lot about curation these days but we've only just begun. Pearltrees: A Design Interface for Remapping the Web. 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.

Said Lamothe, "We wanted a type of game play that was playful to use and map the web...and the fact that you can group and ungroup content easily means that you can re-catalogue it and keep it current. " Rather than looking at the web as a series of linear pages, this service lets us build tree graphs of connecting arguments, share them and then break them at any time.
