Venture Beat 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. You can drag-and-drop content into a browser add-on or the service will automatically index links you share on Twitter. Other people can follow, link or add to the trees you’ve built, so there’s a social element to the site. Pearltree’s approach involves a pretty unique user interface, and it will probably work better for people who think visually. Paris-based Pearltrees has raised 2.5 million euros from angel investors. The company’s beta is launching in Wednesday as Europe takes the spotlight for technology this week with the Le Web conference in Paris.

9.9.9: Social Media árið 2009 Það gerðist æði margt árið 2009 innan Social Media, bæði hér heima og erlendis. Facebook varð einn útbreiddasti miðillinn á Íslandi, fyrsta twestivalið á Íslandi var haldið í febrúar í boði Nova, fyrsta social media ráðstefnan var haldin í september í boði Vefjakrots, Gogoyoko - íslenskur social tónlistarvefur fór í loftið. Twitter er enn bara nördasamfélag og þó netmiðlum hafi fjölgað mikið nýta þeir möguleika social media enn með takmörkuðum hætti. Social media átti líka sinn þátt í skipulagningu mótmæla og nýrrar stjórnmálahreyfingar. Stjórnmálamenn þóttist sumir hverjir ætla að nýta samfélagsmiðlana til að eiga í samskiptum við kjósendur en lítið hefur heyrst í þeim eftir að kosið var. Það verður spennandi að sjá hvað 2010 mun færa okkur á þessu sviði. Við höfum nú þegar bryddað upp á nýjungum í social media en haldið var social media lunch á veitingastaðnum Eldhrímni síðastliðinn fimmtudag. Noise to signal tók saman helstu social media atburði síðasta árs: Hjörtur
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? You betcha and hot chocolate too. 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.
"Total Recall", votre vie numérisée pour l'éternité ? En fondant la Bibliothèque d'Alexandrie en 288 avant JC, Alexandre le Grand nourrissait le projet fou de conserver tout le savoir de l'humanité depuis l'invention de l'écriture à Sumer et Babylone. Sous l'empire romain et au plus haut de sa gloire, cette merveille de l'Antiquité compta jusqu'à 700.000 volumes sur papyrus et parchemins...avant d'être détruite et pillée par les disciples chrétiens du dernier des Ptolémée en l'an 642 comme le raconte le récent peplum "Agora". Les savants et philosophes furent expulsés et toute cette mémoire partit en fumée, plongeant le monde dans l'éclipse intellectuelle et scientifique du bas moyen-âge. A l'époque nulle copie de sauvegarde n'était disponible... Mais quinze siècles plus tard, le saut technologique quantique permis par la révolution numérique rendrait presque palpable le rêve de garder pour l'éternité la mémoire de chaque être humain né sur cette Terre ! Mais avant d'en arriver là, il vous faudra donc : 4. Jean-Christophe Féraud
The Coming Fight for Executive Talent Whether you can hear it or not, a time bomb is ticking in C-suites worldwide. Its shock waves will resonate for decades. The explosive: indisputable demographics. There's no defusing this situation. Next year, Asia's contribution to global gross domestic product will be larger than that of the U.S. and the largest in the world. As economic power is redistributed, talent will follow it. Many Asian nations have strong traditions of placing a high value on quality leadership. Tata Consultancy Services, for example, calculates a rate of return for each of the tens of thousands of info tech professionals it hires every year out of college. Infosys Technologies (INFY) elected to build the largest corporate training center in the world in Mysore, India. The developed world continues to offer superior education for knowledge workers and managers. The global talent war is well under way, even though it's being ignored in many C-suites.
Complaints greet Google Nexus One phone Google is being inundated with complaints about its Nexus One phone. The touchscreen smartphone was launched on 5 January and can be bought directly from Google and used on almost any phone network. But confusion over who should answer customer queries has led many to file complaints on support forums. Many people are unhappy with Google only responding to questions by e-mail and are calling for it to set up phone-based support. Phone frustration Americans can buy the Nexus One directly from Google for $529 (£331) or on a contract with T-Mobile for $179 (£112). The support forums that Google has set up for the Nexus One are filling up with complaints from many of the first to buy the phone who need help. The top query, with more than 500 responses, is about how much people should pay for the phone and whether existing customers of T-Mobile can get the device at a reduced rate. Almost 500 people have logged problems with the Nexus One's support for 3G wireless networks.
Ubergizmo 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. Ewan Spence asked an interesting question: what about the mobile version?
Tiger Woods and the Coming Decline of Celebrity Endorsements - R by Rosabeth Moss Kanter | 10:30 AM December 14, 2009 Golf champion Tiger Woods no longer represents global consulting and technology services firm Accenture, as of December 13. Accenture is the first of Woods’ corporate sponsors to pull out of the relationship completely. A day earlier, Gillette announced a suspension of Woods’ marketing appearances for an unspecified period. For anyone missing two weeks of headlines, here’s a recap. Though Accenture doesn’t sell anything to consumers, it put itself in the public eye with its “Go ahead, be a Tiger” ad campaign. Some analysts see Accenture’s announcement as purely pragmatic, not moral or ethical. But I see the values dimension front and center. During the past decade, ethical misconduct of many kinds has caused the decline of the cult of the celebrity CEO and the fall of many a celebrity politician. Unlike Accenture, Nike makes a product that Woods and other athletes actually use — shoes.

Techcrunch [France] Paris-based Pearltrees has been catching interest around the web the last few days not least because a gaggle influential Silicon Valley bloggers have descended on Paris for Le Web, but mainly because of its interesting model for visually mapping how people collect and share information on the Web. But today the startup opens the kimono on its full system. They will announce two new things today: Twitter synchronization (enabling a user to create a pearl automatically from Twitter and to tweet automatically from their new Pearltrees), Pearltrees search, Real time discussion and connection. The other new aspect announced today on stage at Le Web is the Pearltrees Social System. But to explain first, here’s a new video they just released: Pearltrees is effectively visual social bookmarking and therefore has the potential to be more widely used than perhaps the traditional alternatives. You can track what you have looked at and watch what your friends are tracking.
