Some media coverage of Pearltrees beta launch
unclear how to add this as a pearl for me to link to my trees from the display view by Feb 25
So the new Pearltrees Social System is not based on the social graph as Pearltrees users do not connect with “friends” or “people”. Instead they connect and follow the parts of other user’s account that interest them. For example you can follow what I add on “Social Media” or “Musique” or any other of my interest. This is not done through filtering but via the way the interface is built: it enables people to manipulate bits and pieces of other’s account and to put it into their own.

Pearltrees Beta Launches on Wednesday: Will Let You Archive the
I am with the Traveling Geeks at Pearltrees’ headquarter in Paris, I already published about Pearltrees a few months ago when it was in pre- alpha, but the public beta will launch in two days at LeWeb . Pearltrees is a visual collaborative web browsing interface: users browse the internet visually using “Pearls” that represent websites and, by connecting them, they create a network of interest, I call it the “interest graph”. The social networking component, allows users to follow each other and use other people pearls to build their “interest graph”, they can collaborate to create a common tree with pearls shared among many people. With the Pearltress-Twitter sync feature users automatically build pearls by tweeting urls on Twitter, and automaticallt tweet urls by creating pearls in Pearltree, it will launch in two days.

If you’re the type of obsessive-compulsive person who needs to organize the firehose of information confronting you every day on the web, then Pearltrees might work for you. It’s a visual social bookmarking service that allows you keep track of what you’ve read and establish relationships between different pieces of content. Using Pearltrees is like drawing a mind-map, but with online content.

In a private interview, CEO Patrice Lamothe explained how Pearltrees offers a great opportunity to "curate" the web and socially organize its data. I like this startup because it's the rare French startup that innovates on product and is brave enough to focus on product first and monetization later. They've raised a 2.5M€ angel round and expect to raise a VC round several months from now. Pearltrees is one of the big sponsors of LeWeb, and they've released their beta version (they were in open alpha before that) on stage at LeWeb.

I had the pleasure of meeting great entrepreneurs with some good ideas in those places, and although I will not be covering all 15-16 of them here in depth in this post, I’m looking forward to catching up with them later to talk more about what they’re building. These are my personal favorites though: Pearltrees (Butcher’s take here ), Feedbooks , Cedexis , Gostai and Zoomorama . I cannot thank the people behind the Traveling Geeks iniative enough for all their efforts in putting this tour together, and I very much hope to be invited for more of this in the future, however intense and demanding it can be. Also huge kudos to the companies who were kind enough to support the Traveling Geeks ( full list here ) – let me reassure you that it pays off.
Au revoir et merci, Traveling Geeks

A new web paradigm: Pearltrees
It's funny we do internally the same comparaison - DOS text vs. Macintosh/Windows. The more you can talk about us, the better ;-) by Dec 14
But the hunt is on for something better. One example: The just-launched PearlTrees , which allows you to lump and organize your links into network graphs. The best bit is that when you create a node in your network (a "pearl"), you can see who else has bookmarked that same link--and see what they've tagged as related content.
Pearltrees is a site that enables you to submit pearls which are websites, into a pearl tree. The unique concept of this website is to meet others with the same interests, and to locate similar topics of interests. Creating pearl trees is a personal choice of topic such as work, videos, or even an environmental pearl tree. When you use the search tool, you will be led to pearls that you are looking for.
