Everyone realizes that the web is entering a new phase in its development. One indication of this transition is the proliferation of attempts to explain the changes that are occurring. Functional explanations emphasize the real time web, collaborative systems and location-based services . Technical explanations argue that the interconnectivity of data is the most significant current development. They consider the web’s new frontiers to be closely related to the semantic web or the “web of things”. Although these explanations are both pertinent and intriguing, none of them offers an analytical matrix for assessing the developments that are now underway.

Pearltrees Raises $6.7M For Its “Collaborative Interest Graph” | TechCrunch

Pearltrees, a company offering a novel interface for sharing and finding content, has raised 5 million euros ($6.7 million US) in new funding. The basic unit of the Pearltrees service is the pearl, which is basically a bookmark. Users can assemble these pearls into trees based around a topic.

Pearltrees Brings Your Interest Graph' to the iPad | Adweek

http://www.adweek.com/news/technology/pearltrees-brings-your-interest-graph-ipad-135694

One of the more buzzword-y buzzwords in Silicon Valley right now is the "interest graph," which is supposed to connect people and the topics that they're interested in. Lots of startups promise to tap into the interest graph, but Pearltrees CEO Patrice Lamothe says a new app from his startup is "maybe the first time you actually see an interest graph." The new feature, which Lamothe variously describes as "visual discovery" (his pitch to the tech press) and "related interests" (what it's actually called in the app), is included in the just-launched iPad application from the previously Web-only company.

Not many tech CEOs would have the guts to describe their products as “magical” and as delivering “pure happiness”, but that’s exactly how Pearltrees‘ Patrice Lamothe describes the startup’s iPad app released today. You know what? He may just be right.

Pearltrees makes Web curation a joy with its 'magical' new iPad app

WHAT: A web-based and iPad application to organize and curate your social life online. Users collect, or bookmark, web pages, tweets, Google+ posts and more, and arrange them in pearls or pearltrees. A pearl holds anything interesting you find on the web with a URL. A pearltree is a collection of webpages that functions like a folder. On the iPad, you simply organize your pearls by touching and dragging. Pearltrees also features pearl sharing and collaboration with others.

Pearltrees: Slick Social Bookmarking and Curation Tool Now on iPad - LAUNCH -

Citoyens ! Les commentaires vont bon train concernant Google + . Pour ma part, pas d’énormes révolutions de mes propres usages, pour la simple et bonne raison que l’étape 1 de la propagation de Google + repose sur une notion désormais hyperstatique : le carnets d’adresse. A la différence près que si les MySpace ou autres Facebook ont pu recruter sans avoir à justifier de services additionnels révolutionnaires (“log and see”), Google + arrive après une phase de maturation des réseaux sociaux vers le grand public, et de façon internationale. Difficile pour l’utilisateur de simplement faire confiance à Google pour un service additionnel. Il manque cette dimension dynamique dans l’acquisition des publics ; on pourrait presque parier que les prochains grands succès des médias sociaux n’auront pas lieu seulement via une contamination d’adresses emails mais par de véritables “missions” ou “call to actions” demandés aux utilisateurs prospects.

Social curation finds an audience: Pearltrees reaches 10M pageviews | VentureBeat

http://venturebeat.com/2011/04/07/pearltrees-10m-pageviews/

With its slick visual interface for bookmarking content, Pearltrees is unique enough that I’ve been both impressed and slightly skeptical that a mass audience will actually use it. But it looks like the site has found plenty of users. The French startup just announced that it crossed two big milestones in March: It has more than 100,000 users curating links, and it received more than 10 million pageviews.

A new web paradigm: Pearltrees

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.

La curation pour guérir de l’infobésité et gérer sa réputation. Interview de Patrice Lamothe, Pearltrees, au LeWeb pour « Les visages de la réussite » Curation – BuzzWord 2011 – est (ma définition) un trèfle à trois coeurs : veille, documentation et communication/marketing. C’est l’art de se positionner comme une valeur ajoutée dans une expertise en partageant une veille qualitative dûment épurée sur la base d’un centre d’intérêt (passion) clairement identifié. Pour une marque c’est un moyen d’être identifiée comme pro-active et acteur de référence en partageant des sources pertinentes orchestrées .

Pearltrees new team and touch features pave way for best-of-breed curation service

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.

Le mindmapping : outil mainstream ? - techtoc.tv, web-tv communautaire rich media – video – [...]

Le principal éditeur d'outils de mindmapping, Mindjet vient d'annoncer fièrement la barre des 1,5 millions d'utilisateurs payants. Outre Mindmanager de Mindjet, les outils de cartes heuristiques font florès : xmind, mindmeister, mindomo, etc. Que ce soit en standalone ou en mode collaboratif, cet outil est-il appelé à devenir mainstream ?

J’ai ouvert un compte dès le passage de Pearltrees en alpha publique il me semble, je suis donc un Early adopter et comme souvent dans ce cas je ne peut plus m’en passer. Ce service sert à enregistrer vos pérégrinations sur l’intra-web. Sa force c’est la forme, l’interaction qui permet la fameuse sérendipité de s’épanouir.
