Curating the Best of Tech and Social Media for Families

While advances in search technology has made finding information easier and easier, saving and organizing information in a way that captures a story or conversation can still be very challenging. I just posted on Techmamas.com about my first experience with Pearltrees.com; I was on a Traveling Geeks trip to LeWeb and Pearltrees was one of the French companies we met.

At least a couple of those worries are alleviated with the news that Automattic is open-sourcing the Simplenote apps on iOS, Mac and Android.

The Windows app was already open, so this doesn’t come as a total surprise, but it’s still good news. Lifehacker- the story behind simplenote. Simplenote.
