[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.

Pearltrees: Bookmarking Program for Organization Lovers
For the first stop for the Traveling Geeks trip to Paris, we stopped by the offices of Pearltrees , a Web bookmarking, organizing, and organizing tool. Sitting inside their offices I could have been sitting at any Web 2.0 company in Silicon Valley. Very open work atmosphere.
One thing that changed since this paper is the time it takes to organize something in pearltrees. The add-on let you put something somewhere in two clicks... Far less than traditionnal "1 click + tag writing" ;-) Think David can become a pearltrees users much quicker than he thinks.... by Patrice Feb 25
some very good points made by David Spark in this post - especially in the "who is Pearltrees for" (he suggestions "folks who like to organize things such as record collections" and he notes some UI issues by rycaut Feb 25
If you’re the type of obsessive-compulsive person who needs to organize the firehose of information confronting you every day on the web, then Pearltrees might work for you. It’s a visual social bookmarking service that allows you keep track of what you’ve read and establish relationships between different pieces of content. Using Pearltrees is like drawing a mind-map, but with online content. You can drag-and-drop content into a browser add-on or the service will automatically index links you share on Twitter. Then you can organize all of that content into a tree or a web of keywords like the picture shown above.

Q&A: Patrice Lamothe of Pearltrees on personal organisation of t
Believe me when I say you've never used a web application quite like pearltrees . With this application, you can literally map your personal web. Take all of the bookmarks scattered across your web browser, assign them a category and you've got a pearltree. It's a new way of seeing the web. Think of it as Web 2.5.
Pearltrees is a web-based social bookmarking application with a unique visual approach. Compared to other sites in the same vein ( Delicious , Xmarks ), Pearltrees offers a unique visual approach. Bookmarked sites are represented by circular thumbnails called “pearls.” These can then be dragged around and arranged into a branching hierarchy or “tree.” Pearls can be added while browsing via a Firefox plugin or a bookmarklet.

Some media coverage of Pearltrees beta launch
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.

PearlTrees: A Novel Approach To Human Mapping Of The Internet -
Patrice Lamothe is the CEO of PearlTrees , an unique social bookmarking service that uses the visual metaphor of "pearls" with each containing a web page. 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:

Summary: Pearltrees is a new web service that brings a social twist to bookmarking 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.”

The pearltrees themselves are the best way to organize your pearls : they can be used as placeholder, with an additionnal value to other user : they can pick the part you wanted to separate, and thus follow a more specific part of your account! by Patrice May 19
Since I can't find a way to create a placeholder Pearl of original content not other websites I'm using this search as a placeholder for commentary/reviews I have found on Pearltrees. Ideally I'd like to be able to tag & indicate positive & negative reviews as well as highlight specific quotes & points by rycaut Feb 25
A new web paradigm: Pearltrees A few days ago I found out about an application that threw me off my chair: Pearltrees.com . The reason is that I have been discussing a similar concept around me for a few months – without taking any serious step towards implementing it -. So here I was, contemplating the execution of the idea and going through a range of emotions when I discovered in more details the way they designed the application. Not to mention the irony of their being French. After using it for a few days, I believe Pearltrees could change the way we browse the web.
