http://c1nf.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/mapping-the-web-pearltrees/ As I’m a visual kind of person, I like visual methods of mapping abstract information. Which is pearltrees – part blog, part social media, part flow chart. It is made up of “nodes” (the pearls). Each node is fully customisable – descritpions, notes, custom icons, which are then anchored on a root node (the base of the tree).It sounds more complicated than it actually is, here is me prepping articles about the Rothschilds’ influence on UK politics for example: My pearltree showing my bookmarks for The Rothschilds influence on UK politics

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

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

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.
