The Princess and the PearlTrees. Once upon a time there lived a multipassionate princess who read websites all over the internet.
She was smart, curious, and passionate about every new thing she discovered. But the princess had a very serious problem. She’d signed up for so many online classes she couldn’t even remember them all! Some of them were in her browser’s favorites, and others tagged in her email. Some of them were lost in the ether of an old email address she couldn’t access any more. One day, the kingdom was threatened by a huge, fire-breathing dragon! Finally, the Princess turned to Jarvis, the castle scholar. “Of course, Your Highness, I’m sending you the link to the webinar now,” he said. “But how did you find it so quickly,” she asked. “I have all of your classes bookmarked on PearlTrees,” he told her. “What in the world is PearlTrees?” “When you have defeated the dragon, come back and I will tell you.” And so he did… Tip: Think you might want to reference this later?

Pearltrees: #Pearltrees + #Android = TLF! Pearltrees Arrives On Android, Wants To Become The File Manager For The Post-PC Era. Pearltrees, the visual and collaborative library that lets you easily organize and bookmark information in tree-like structures, finally launched its Android app for phones and tablets today.
The service started out on the web in 2009 and then came to the iPad in 2011 and the iPhone last year. Android, however, as the company’s CEO Patrice Lamothe told me last week, was always one of the most requested platforms, and the team also expects this launch to help it quickly grow its user base. Thanks to the flexibility Android affords developers when it comes to sharing and bookmarking, Lamothe told me, this platform is really the first one that allows the company to fully realize its vision of becoming a “file manager for the post-PC era.” For Pearltrees, this means that you can use the Android app to bookmark and organize content from both apps like Flipboard and the web — something that would be very hard to do on most other platforms.

Pearltrees, the Paris-based curation and discovery service, just launched a new version of its web and mobile apps.
The update introduces a visual refresh with full-screen images that now automatically appear as backgrounds for all of your pearltrees – the mind map-like tree structures that you use for organizing your collections on the site. While the service previously featured a very abstract representation of the bookmarks, images, texts and other items you save on the site, the new version now shows you more realistic ‘pearls.” Pearltrees Goes 1.0, Launches Premium Accounts With Private Collections And Sharing.

Today, Pearltrees launches its 1.0 version with Pearltrees Premium, with a membership fee of $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year that gives access to privacy settings. Before, all your Pearltrees were publicly published on the web. The new feature is really good news: I am a big fan of the visual user interface although I did not use Pearltrees that much, both due to a lack of time and a concern for privacy. The content that I collect in bookmarks or I flag in my Google reader remains private or is sharable with people I know. This new feature is really great and may increase the user base to numerous professionals for collaboratively gathering information in various format: notes, images, web pages.

That really can’t be said about social bookmarking service Pearltrees, however. The company has stuck pretty closely to its roadmap ever since its launch in 2009. After launching on the web, Peartrees is now available on the iPad and, starting today, on the iPhone. Ever since its launch, the company wanted to provide its users with a library of what they discover online and create a community of people based on their common interests. Until now, that mostly meant sharing bookmarks, but the new iPhone app significantly broadens this concept to also include photos and short notes. While the company obviously adjusted the app’s design to accommodate the iPhone’s smaller screen, the overall look and feel hasn’t changed much. Since the launch of the iPad app, Pearltrees has also started to put a stronger emphasis on helping users discover other relevant content on the site based on their own interest graphs.

To date, the free service counts more than 500,000 contributors and more than 25 million pearls. Although I am not an avid user, however I love its aesthetics and the ease of use of its graphic interface. Content curation is a trending topic in the internet industry and Pearltrees is surely one of the most innovative startup to offer content curation and social networking based on the interest graph.

We’ve been long-standing fans of Pearltrees, the French startup that makes organizing content you find online into themes via shareable collections of linked ‘pearls’. Now it’s bringing the experience to the iPhone and expanding the kinds of content that can be shared via the service. Like the browser-based and iPad versions of Pearltrees, the iPhone app allows you to collect and share Web pages in themed groups.

The venture capital-backed collector community today launches a universal version of its app so it works on iPhone as well as iPad now.
Here’s how it works: As one who signed-up for Pearltrees relatively recently, I am more of an admirer of the service than a practitioner at this point. The notion of a social network that doesn’t emphasize personal connections but rather common interests is intriguing. If I am looking to collect information about the band Phish or advice on dog grooming, I like having the option to tap the opinions of enthusiasts rather than just those in my social graph. Still, it takes a bit of work to get a feel for everything. The iPhone app allows users to add their own “Pearls” of digital content and discover related “Pearltrees”.

With this swirl of activity, then, it’s no surprise to hear that Parisian service Pearltrees — slogan “collect, organize, discover” — has just raised another $6 million of funding, led by local conglomerate Groupe Accueil. The company, which has been running in public since 2009, welcomed the injection of funds as a way to help expand and scale up its system for bookmarking and organizing, which is based around a clustered visual interface.
