Pearltrees: A Unique Way to Discover & Organize « Zorap Creates Traveling Geeks Virtual Geek Pad for France Blogging Tour | Main | Orange Highlights at LeWeb #leweb » December 07, 2009 Pearltrees: A Unique Way to Discover & Organize on the Web Pearltrees CEO Patrice Lamothe meets us at the door of their offices on rue de charonne in a funky, artsy area of Paris that houses other early stage companies and ad agencies, not unlike San Francisco's SOMA in many ways. Coffee waiting? He's not an unknown personality in Silicon Valley so some of us had heard of, tried, tested and demoed Pearltrees before. "Building an organization on the web touches on how you organize your stuff in the real world. Pause....a nearby church bell rings on the half hour. Pearltrees allows you to get in touch with others who share mutual interests around the way you 'organize yourself on the web.' Visually it looks a bit like the brain......not unlike a mind map, but that's not the point of the app, which is all done in flex btw. Who uses it? TrackBack Comments
PearlTrees: A Novel Approach To Human Mapping Of The Internet - Posted by Tom Foremski - November 16, 2009 Patrice Lamothe is the CEO of PearlTrees, an unique social bookmarking service that uses the visual metaphor of "pearls" with each containing a web page. And like all visual metaphors it is best to see it rather than read a description. Here is a quick video and a sample image: "PearlTrees is a way for people to map the Internet by collecting related web pages. He says that social bookmarking, through services such as Delicious, has failed. Social bookmarking has failed, he says, because tagging links is not a good way to organize the web. The company has several thousand users in France and will formally announce the service in the US around February. Mr Lamothe says that a high percentage of users are women, and many users aren't geeks. PearlTrees has an excellent user interface and is designed to allow people to learn its features through what Mr Lamothe describes as "social play." Revenue could come from several sources. Try it for yourself.

[Curation] : Pearltrees, Scoop.it, Storify, Paper.li,... à la recherche de l'information ultime. Cet article a été publié il y a 6 ans 7 mois 20 jours, il est donc possible qu’il ne soit plus à jour. Les informations proposées sont donc peut-être expirées. On le sait maintenant, en plus du terme de community manager, celui de curation ou content curator (définition selon Vincent Berthelot : « Le curator est celui qui transforme l’information qu’il a recueilli pour en faire une agrégation concise et porteuse de sens soit pour information soit pour décision. ») fait une entrée fracassante dans le domaine du marketing social. Même si ce dernier n’est pas nouveau, et que les premières théories autour de celui-ci date des alentours de 2006, il semble que l’activité de curation devienne très importante. Ce qui est en même temps normal dans une ère d’über-information, où s’informer correctement et atteindre la bonne information sont devenus une vraie aventure, digne d’un film d’Indiana Jones. Heureusement, afin de toujours retrouver le nord, il existe des boussoles très efficaces.
Review: pearltrees and Evernote | Kip McGrath Professional Tutoring Leeds Here are recommendations for two online services or cloud services I am using at the moment. Under review for about 6 weeks, pearltrees is new to me but I’ve been using Evernote for a couple of years. Both are great for everyday use but there are particular ways they are good for teachers and tutors and for students. pearltrees (Free or Premium is $44 a year) Well Done! Pearltrees showed up on StumbleUpon quite a few times over the last year or so. As a tutor, there are several things I love about pearltrees. Pearltrees is essentially an online bookmarks bar. Collaboration is great too. One last great thing about Pearltrees is that it can show similar subject areas. See me! Premium is $44 a year but that does enable privacy. Evernote (Free or $35 a year/$4 a month) Well done! I think I also found Evernote on StumbleUpon but it has become so embedded in what I do I can’t quite remember! Evernote does do some of what pearltrees does but collects all your personal notes as well. See Me!

Patrice Lamothe, infatigable évangélisateur du web et des usages numériques, mais aussi passionné de sciences dures et de sciences humaines, a répondu à quelques questions pour les visiteurs de la soucoupe. Petit résumé d’une riche discussion. Comment est née l’idée fondatrice de pearltrees ? C’est une réflexion de fond sur le web participatif, que j’ai menée pendant 3 ans à partir de 2004, à une époque où je bloguais activement sur la sociologie et la philosophie politique. Et dans les faits, comment cela se traduit-il ? Surtout pas !

Matthew Buckland Fresh off the plane, I’m on the road with the Travelling Geeks, and the first startup on our schedule is an innovative Paris-based social bookmarking operation, Pearl Trees. Their founder and CEO, Patrice Lamothe, says the site offers users a new way to “curate” or organise their lives on the web. They’ve secured about US$3,5m in funding for what is essentially a type of visual social bookmarking site, offering a relatively unique drag-and-drop interface. The site, which has been in development for about 7-months, relies heavily on Flash. As far as I can see, it’s essentially a del.icio.us, but with a visual twist, offering a tree-like structure in which to categorise and store your bookmarks. It also offers a nifty, generously-sized real-time preview of the sites you have bookmarked. The UI may appeal to some, but not to others. Pearl Trees is still in Alpha (0.4.1) and by Lamothe’s own admission it’s still early days. Pearl Trees is a good start, and I generally like their approach.

Scoble about French entrepreneur On Tuesday I joined up with the Traveling Geeks (a band of journalists/bloggers/influentials who visit startups around the world, picture of them above in a Paris subway station) in Paris and we saw a ton of startups. Some of them, like Stribe, were very good. But overall they just didn’t measure up. In fact, they even got me to be rude to them, which caught everyone off guard. First, if you meet with journalists, influentials, and bloggers who are coming from outside your country I assume you want to build a world brand. So, since you were meeting with us and since we’ve spent precious resources getting there and had sizeable opportunity costs, I figure entrepreneurs should be better prepared. 1. Four CEOs told me their companies weren’t on Twitter and that they didn’t have enough time to join Twitter. Luckily I’ve found 500 tech company founders who ARE clued in and found Twitter to be important. 2. 2b. 3. 4. 4b. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Las últimas tribus no contactadas salen de la selva | Ciencia “Contra el petróleo, [los anticapitalistas] han creado la figura del nativo selvático no conectado; es decir, desconocido pero presumible, por lo que millones de hectáreas no deben ser exploradas, y el petróleo peruano debe quedarse bajo tierra mientras se paga en el mundo 90 dólares por cada barril”, proclamó en 2007 el entonces presidente de Perú Alan García. El mismo año, el presidente de la petrolera estatal PeruPetro, Daniel Saba, fue todavía más allá: “Es absurdo decir que hay no contactados cuando nadie los ha visto”. Ambos se equivocaban o mentían. La agencia del Gobierno brasileño que establece las políticas relacionadas con los pueblos indígenas, la Fundación Nacional del Indio (Funai), entró en contacto con cinco tribus aisladas entre 1987 y 2013. El Gobierno peruano, con Ollanta Humala al frente desde 2011, ya no niega la existencia de tribus aisladas. En Perú viven unos 8.000 indígenas aislados, según los cálculos de Huertas. En Brasil se repiten los mismos problemas.
