PS: Curating is more fun when you do it with friends… Video Interview: 2011-2012 Trends in Social Media - Syndicating Brian Solis. Jennifer Allen Archive. Learning is so much more rewarding when it’s also fun. That’s part of the reason why recent educational app, Grammar Pop HD, garnered such a positive review from us last week. The brainchild of Mignon Fogarty, otherwise known as Grammar Girl, we were lucky enough to have a chat with her to find out more on how the game, as well as the persona, came to be. 148Apps: What’s the story behind Grammar Girl?

What made you decide to embrace that title? Mignon Fogarty (MF): When I was a science editor, I saw my clients making the same mistakes over and over again – little things, such as using “a” when they should use “an” or misusing commas. Podcasting was new at the time, and I decided to also do a quick, simpler writing show because I saw that there were so many people who needed writing help.

Much to my surprise, the Grammar Girl podcast took off right away and essentially took over my life. The name Grammar Girl just popped into my head and I knew it was perfect right away. Pearltrees Social Content Creation - What is All the Hype? | Online Marketing Mentor | Rochester NY | eMentorMarketing.com. If you are not familiar with content curation the time is now to jump on board with a new concept of finding and sharing high quality content.

Content is the king of social media and the Internet. The reason people conduct searches online is for content but not just any content… high quality content that is useful and informative. The problem with searching online for quality information is that the majority of people online are unsure of how to create valuable content. Therefore you have to sift through a lot of inferior information to get to the good stuff. What exactly is Content Curation Anyway? Content curation is definitely not the production of content in a museum. Instead content curation is the process of passing on the most valuable and compelling information to others that you find among all of the content you look at on the Internet or social web. So what is All the Hype around Pearltrees?

How Pearltrees Works Pearltrees vs. Marshallk: Posting soon about the mos... Pearltrees for iPad is a Must-Have App. "Tell me when it's an iPad app," I've told the team behind web curation startup Pearltrees over and over again. That day has finally come and what was a clumsy, Flash-based web experience is now a gorgeous, brilliant iPad app. Happy day, the Pearltrees iPad app is finally here! Pearltrees is a link saving and sharing service that uses a beautiful visual metaphor - links are saved as floating glass orbs just made for touching, swiping and zooming. You might be confused by the iPad app if you haven't used the web interface a little already.

You can go be my buddy here. Above, my collection of links related to Pearltrees. What do you get out of it? I am really having a good time using Pearltrees but there are a few things that could make it much better. Another feature that would make this all the more compelling would be offline caching of content. Pearltrees Finds its Natural Home on the iPad. Pearltrees, the Paris-based curation and discovery startup, just launched its long-awaited iPad app earlier this week. The company’s service allows users to bookmark interesting websites and arrange them into hierarchically organized tree structures – or “pearls” in the company’s parlance.

I’ve been a fan of Pearltrees ever since I first met the team in Paris about two years ago and have been using their service here for my daily “Catching Up” posts. What makes the service stand out from its competitors is the visual appeal of how you collect and organize your “pearls.” The drag-and-drop interface takes the work out of bookmarking, but while the web interface works quite well, one can’t help but feel that the touch interface on the iPad is actually the most natural way to use the service.

The Pearltrees team managed to keep the interface very fluid and responsive, while keeping virtually all of the functionality of the web app in place.

Buzzing with Social Curation Tools! Today, we are all facing information overload, and it is often difficult to find what we are looking for, especially if we are looking for updated collections of resources to support a topic, issue or idea. Major search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo don't exactly do a great job in assisting either, which might also be partially due to the growing influence and spam of 'Search Engine Optimization (SEO)' gurus, engines and companies. It is amazing how much spam comments I get on this blog alone (10 - 20 spam comments a day!) , thanks to SEO strategies. Amazingly annoying! As Yahoo is trying hard to kill (sell) off Delicious gently, it is perhaps time to find and explore other alternatives to sort out my management of juicy learning resources and discoveries (URLs). While the buzz word of 2010 was 'Social Media', don't be surprised if 'Curation' or 'Social Curation' (attempted definitions) will be the buzz word for 2011 (signs).

WOW! Suttronix Net News. FutureMidwest Speaker Oliver Starr Encourages Digital Curation With Context | FutureMidwest Innovations. Content Curation Tips and Tools | VigLink Blog. At last week’s San Francisco Blog Club meetup, Oliver Starr, Chief Evangelist at Pearltrees, introduced us to the content curation continuum (snapshot below) and shared a few of the key reasons why content curation can prove to be an extremely valuable tool for bloggers.

If you are a blogger looking to “increase your authority and expand your influence”: listen up. Without a doubt, the internet can be a messy place. There is more information out there than any one person can reasonably consume in their lifetime. Bloggers that are able to effectively make sense of the wealth of information available to “content consumers” (by curating content), will forever be appreciated by their current readers and quickly attract new ones (they will also never be at a loss for new content). So, what’s curation? Oliver shared this definition: “Curation: the selection of, care for, and presentation of the objects entered into a collection.” Trackback. The future of bookmarking - (Build 20100625223402) Internet users are familiar with bookmarks. These internet shortcuts are called, Favorites in Internet Explorer.

In addition to the built in bookmark management capabilities of browsers, third party external applications provide additional capabilities for bookmark management. If you’re using multiple PCs accessing bookmarks is a bit of a hassle, as you have to save the bookmarks in each PC, individually. But Google Chrome browser changed this with bookmark syncing. And there are social bookmarking sites, which needs no introduction at all. However, it is very frustrating to have more than 300 bookmarks in a typical bookmarking service.

For example let’s assume you’re an ardent fan of the latest tech news. Let’s say you’re in need of organizing the ‘Tech news’ Pearltree in a better way, since you’re following news related to IT, new gadgets, do-it-yourself projects, wood working, etc. This structure is a lot like nested folders -- the kind you might have on your PC. L'organisation d'une bibliothèque ouverte. Pearltrees est un outil visuel très sophistiqué mais gratuit d'édition (voire de curation) permettant d'organiser des contenus en grappes de données, selon une thématique particulière. Ces grappes de données, appelées des perles, viennent à former un arbre (la thématique) d'où le nom "arbres de perles" ou Pearltrees. Le curateur de contenus est un éditeur qui cherche, filtre, organise et présente des informations selon des attentes et des contextes particuliers.

(Si vous n'êtes pas encore familier avec ce terme, voir mon billet à ce sujet ici). La curation de contenus vise d'abord des objectifs qualitatifs, stratégiques et sociaux. Pearltrees permet ce traitement particulier de l'information. Pour voir de quoi il s'agit, voici mes perles organisées selon une des mes thématiques favorites intitulée: Curateur de contenu.

Comment animer une communauté d’utilisateurs par Pierre-Etienne Daviet, community manager de Pearltrees. « Les membres satisfaits sont les premiers évangélistes d’un produit » Dans l’ère du Web social, une marque ne peut se satisfaire d’un site d’information : elle doit aller vers les clients et faire avec les clients.

Mais la multiplication des plates formes et l’état « zapping » ou « béta » des internautes complexifient les tâches du Community Management. Cette difficulté s’accentue lorsque votre produit est un service totalement innovant (rupture totale avec des habitudes). A ce tire, Pearltrees, nominée aux crunchies 2009 et chargée de retranscrire sous forme de e-carte heuristique toutes les productions hors et pendant le Web09 est l’une des grandes innovations de l’année.

Not just because the assembled group consisted of a fair number of the brainiest people on the planet, and not just because the general consensus was that a meshing of silicon hardware with our carbon wetware appears to be a future inevitability, but also because of the discussion about animal intelligence and how it is similar to yet different from our own.

DEMO Curation At Its Best Thanks To Pearltrees. « Engaging In The Digital Wilderness | Main | DEMO Late Night » September 17, 2010 DEMO Curation At Its Best Thanks To Pearltrees Pearltrees was THE curation tool at DEMOfall this year. When people think of curation, they often think of museum curators, authors who curate content for a book or educators who curate material for courses. However, if you search, save and later access content on the web, you ARE a curator every day. Pearltrees not only bookmarks all the weblinks that you visit on a regular basis, but it organizes them into nice, neat and well designed pearls that you can easily access anytime.

Pearltrees does the work so frankly you don't have to. Go ahead, try it out.

Pearltrees new team and touch features pave way for best-of-breed curation service. Curation Becomes Social: Pearltrees Launches 'Team' Version. Posted by Tom Foremski - December 7, 2010 [For much of this year I have been working with Pearltrees, which offers a visual web site curation service based on the visual metaphor of 'pearls' please see below for an example.]

Pearltrees this week launched a "Team" version of its curation service that allows groups of people to collaborate on curating a topic. Up until now each Pearltree was the responsibility of one person. Alexia Tsotsis at Techcrunch reported: Ideally this goes down as such: You really care about fashion so you search for fashion in the Pearltrees search box and are confronted with really elaborate visual cluster displays of fashion blogs, each blog its own “pearl.”

You decide that anyone who likes The Sartorialist is probably a good egg and click on the puzzle piece in the Pearltrees detail window in order to ask if you can join the team. Pearltrees is part of a growing number of companies that offer curation services. Please see: Curation And The Human Web... Pearltrees : Organizing your web experience. LOVE it!

French startup Pearltrees offers a very unique interface for organizing and sharing collections of links from around the web. Tomorrow the company will release a new, faster version of its application and announce that it has passed 2 million links curated in 7 months since going live. That means an average of 10,000 links have been bookmarked in Pearltrees every day since launch, and presumably many more now that the site has grown.

Last month the company announced that it raised $1.6 million in venture funding. I love what Pearltrees is trying to do, most people I talk to love the idea, and it's good to hear the service is getting so much traction. I'm waiting until the promised iPad version comes out before getting too excited about it. It's hard to know what percentage of those thousands of links are pulled in automatically from synced Twitter accounts. What do you think about Pearltrees? Have you found yourself using the service regularly, though? New Pearltrees Offers Faster Browsing Than The Internet.
