Curation Becomes Social: Pearltrees Launches ‘Team’ Version [For much of this year I have been working with Pearltrees, which offers a visual web site curation service based on the visual metaphor of ‘pearls’ please see below for an example.] Pearltrees this week launched a “Team” version of its curation service that allows groups of people to collaborate on curating a topic. Up until now each Pearltree was the responsibility of one person.
Visualized: the real Android fragmentation It's been staring you in the face all this time. The Android fragmentation that not only threatens, but dooms Google's mobile OS: the buttons are always in different places. How will we ever cope? [Thanks, Drummertist] Comments Pearltrees brings curation to next level, adds Team feature As the Internet grows, finding content that's relevant to you becomes tougher. Sure, there's your basic Web search and then there's aggregation, similar to what Google and Yahoo do with news headlines. But another form of information discovery is starting to gain some momentum: curation.

Infographic of the Day: Do Smarter People Make More Money? We all know, at least vaguely, that a better education leads to better prospects in life. But is that really true? A superb map created by GOOD shows that it is -- but thanks to the ingenuity of the map design, it also manages to reveal a good deal more about the links between education and money.

Then my motherboard died, I reinstalled the operating system, and I lost my many unsaved bookmarks. *sigh* I was looking into free products to help me backup my bookmarks and access them even from other pcs. The State Of Wikipedia (Video + Infographic) Wikipedia just celebrated its tenth birthday. As a self-proclaimed fan of the site, I wanted to share with you this video, made for the occasion as Wikipedia enters its second decade. The ‘State Of Wikipedia’ video is part of the ‘State Of’ series made by interactive agency from JESS3, and is narrated by Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales. Today, the English Wikipedia now stands at 3.5+ million articles (up from roughly 500,000 in March 2005), and more than 17 million across all languages.
pearltrees, socializing and curating content on the web Content of any type is not useful unless you can find it, organize it and interact with it. In the enterprise companies have tried many different schemes to try and get business content collected in a central repository, organized, tagged, version controlled, and searchable. This has often taken the route of "content management" systems. Content management systems to varying degrees, do an adequate job of getting some content into a controlled system environment. There are challenges with content management systems on two fronts though, getting content into the system in the first place (getting employees to participate in inputting content in some way) and getting the right content into the hands of the person who actually needs it.
From Webslides to Pearltrees Each week in class I pick a few of my students’ blog posts for discussion and string the links together in a list like a slide show of web pages. As discovered by a colleague I have been using Webslides from Diigo for this task over the last 12 weeks. Using the Diigo bookmarklet I can quickly capture the current page link into a Diigo group. Each Diigo group has a link to the start of the webslides presentation – example here.
The Rise And Fall Of Yahoo: The Infographic It’s no secret that Yahoo is in a troubled place. And has been for awhile. We just learned of the news that Yahoo is looking to sell bookmarking service Delicious and “sunsetting” a number of other web services. Twitter Vs. Google In Intent Retargeting Bloomberg / YouTube Velti's Krishna Subramanian We don't know how big Twitter's mobile ad revenue stream is -- there are conflicting reports -- but eMarketer puts it at $130 million for 2012. Before Le Web: Conference, Curation and Creation Traditionally, I've come to Le Web at the last minute - the night before the conference kicks off - and stayed a day afterwards. This time I did it the other way around, and I'm glad I did. I'd missed the degree to which a culture of peripheral events has grown up around the main conference. For example, I had lunch with the good people of Pearltrees, discussing curation of content over a spectacularly good meal at Alcazar.
With beauty and brains, New MySpace seems too good to be true (review) A funny thing happened after my drive home from a Los Angeles press junket where MySpace executives Tim Vanderhook, Chris Vanderhook, and Justin Timberlake gave members of the media a detailed tour of the yet-to-be-unveiled site: I changed my mind. While dictating detailed notes into my iPhone during the drive, I decided that the second coming of MySpace is like an extremely beautiful woman who also possesses the intelligence of a scholar — too much to absorb. If you can have too much of a good thing, the reincarnated MySpace is that thing, I reasoned. But when I sat down to write this story and actually started exploring MySpace and its 53 million tracks, I got lost in the experience. Suddenly, the words of the executive brothers from earlier in the day came back to me. “You give users a couple of days and they become hooked,” CEO Tim said.
