Perhaps you won't believe me since it's my job to spread the gospel of curation as the Chief Evangelist of Pearltrees, but I think curation is here to stay. These are the reasons why I believe this is the case. This year there has been a tremendous amount of buzz in Silicon Valley about curation. Magnify.net CEO Steven Rosenbaum recently published a book, Curation Nation that has sparked a tremendous amount of conversation on the topic. Likewise a post by Brian Solis has been retweeted thousands of times.

The Web has gotten so big and so social that regular bookmarking has become practically useless. We needed a better way to find and organize the content that meets our interests. Sites like Delicious and StumbleUpon are helpful at suggesting interesting items, but less so in the curation and sharing of one’s own Web collection. Enter Pinterest, GimmeBar, and Pearltrees, the latest darlings of the social bookmarking world, which are gathering momentum with Millennial users who are all about sharing what they’re into. Here’s a brief overview of each.

I don't know about all of you, but my computer is jammed full of saved links - from bookmarks to written in a text file to screenshots. I basically have a folder of "to-do" & "need to read" which gets bigger and bigger and never gets read because it's never organised. I randomly came across this site called Pearltrees and it is amazing!

Pearltrees visualization tools add power to search and discovery
Nearly four years ago, I spent a week at a multimedia bootcamp at UC Berkeley put on by the Knight Digital Media Center. It was a wonderful experience, not only because of the practical skills I picked up but also because my team was assigned to interview Jeff Heer , then a graduate student studying data visualization. Our finished multimedia package was rough around the edges, but had some great visuals and detail on Heer's quest to help people understand the power of social relationships on the distribution of information.The Advantages and Innovations of Pearltrees
Pearltrees is a fascinating and innovative new social networking site that is centered on communicating common interests in a visually interesting and complex manner. Pearltrees uses the concept of organizing individual topics and overall subject matter within user defined points of data, the ‘pearls’ from the title, which connect webs of content, serving as the ‘tree’ portion of the title.Connecting through Content |

An interesting review - even though it might be one of the worth review pearltree had so far - the detailled analysis of pearltrees usability is very usefull and the feedback are always actionable. One surprizing thing however is that many of the authors suggestion are... already in place. Such as writing "home" at the top of the interface, or enabling users to pearl in just one click. Did he test Pearltrees on a previous version? In any case, I may very much want to take an other look at it now :-) by Dec 2
