We want to create a new type of activity on the Web and to make it mainstream. We believe that the pleasure to organize the stuff you like is as deep and wide as, say, the pleasure to write the stuff you like, which supports the blogging activity. Our investor supported this vision upfront and gave us the means to do so: a three year time-horizon and the ability to focus on growth. Since we are growing at a very high rate, much more than 40% a month, we want to focus on product and community development rather than revenue generation.

How to save and share your bookmarks with Pearltrees | KPIs.co - The Key Performance Indicators blog
The most annoying features of Pearltree are, unfortunately, also associated with its unique way of doing things: For one, the entire interface is Flash based (hopefully an HTML 5 version is coming?). Navigating the UI also takes a little getting used to, which is a shame. I guess these are birth pains and as the company matures they’ll collect feedback from users and involve more UI designers in the decisions. Conclusion – Pearltrees is a diamond in the rough
Pearltrees: The Future of Social Bookmarking :sinlee.com
For starters, this isn’t your ordinary bookmarking system. Sure, you can organize each pearl into other pearls much like pages within bookmark folders, but can you share it with others in real time ? One of the neatest things about Pearltrees is its social-networking style (and you can actually see this network!) where individuals are themselves little pearls of wisdom and can be linked to (after they are categorized into the appropriate trees, of course – friends, family, acquaintances, famous people I want to stalk ). Whereas interesting links from Facebook and Twitter are easily forgotten and pushed into the background over time, pearls stick around for as long as the user wants it to . Plus, you explore what you want to – no more sifting through annoying profiles and irrelevant links to get to something you want.
However, it is very frustrating to have more than 300 bookmarks in a typical bookmarking service. With Pearltrees, you can play with this stuff to organize them and reorganize them extremely easily. You can make pearltrees of pearltrees infinitely and still have a neat organization! Though there is a slight learning curve, the web based interface is appealing to use.
The future of bookmarking
Pearltrees visualization tools add power to search and discovery
As we create more and more data, search becomes more and more important. Textual search is only the beginning -- visualizing online searches are becoming more important because social connections behind the data can add new layers of trust and relevance. That's because you might be more likely to trust information created or vetted by people you know rather than the masses. Google gets this, and is just starting to introduce social search at the bottom of its results pages.
The Advantages and Innovations of Pearltrees | Webupon
The way this system becomes a social networking experience is that by searching within Pearltrees you can access other user’s pearltrees, grab the trees that you find interesting and attach them to your own pearltree. In doing this you access the wealth of information that this individual, who shares these specific interests with you, and store it should you ever wish to access it later. It is, in certain ways, a tool for sharing an entire archive of bookmarks, or, even more exciting, a method of explaining the thought behind the organization of information.
Connecting through Content |
I could see Pearltrees as a great way to run an online dating site or any process that requires sorting and matching. Unlike other social lnetworks like Facebook , where you look for people and then find their interests through their profile, Pearltrees not only has a more graphical interface but matches content (URLs) first and through that content you can find other people with the same interests. It is a very democratic way to organize the web. In Figure 3 you can see that you can find groups or sub-groups, and can even find a folder (URL). Although Pearltrees is currently public while in free Beta, a private version will be available when Pearltrees goes live next quarter.

Pearltrees: A Great New Tool for Bloggers and Journalists | Star
This tool, which is truly a social web curation and collaboration tool, will enable you to quickly see a whole constellation of content specifically related to a post. More importantly, as additional links (or Pearls) are added to the original Pearltree, the tree in the post is updated in realtime making each Pearltree on a given topic a living reference to that topic. Furthermore, if you sign up for Pearltrees yourself, you can “pick” any specific Pearl or Pearltree you like from anyone else and then add it to your own personal Pearltrees content.
PearlTrees better than bookmarking for organizing stuff online
Since the Web first came online in 1991, it has grown and improved beyond anyone's predictions. Unlike the gray background, mono-spaced text and ugly graphics on the Web in those early years, today's Web is rich with video, interactive applications and other useful and distracting goodies.
pearltrees, socializing and curating content on the web
Curation of content is a concept that is gaining momentum across various media types online. If you want to learn more about curation you can check out CurationNation . The idea though, revolves around involving human interaction with content to filter and organize.

Real Life Pearl Tree Game - DonationCoder.com
Players take turns joining one twig to another but the connected ends must be the same color. As the tree gets larger, one must strategically place their twigs to prevent the entire unit from falling over. It’s one of those games that would totally drive me crazy but I would still play it again and again. Source For those who don't know what a pearl tree is.
This is not a paid advertisement! I don’t know the creators and have not invested in their start-up (though if it ever goes public, I’ll consider investing). I discovered this tool just a few days ago: the more people use it and contribute to it, the better it will become.

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.
