PearlTrees (litéralement “arbres de perles” en français) est un service web que j’ai pu découvrir quelques jours avant LeWeb 2009. En effet, différents “arbre de perles” (PearlTrees) ont été créés à l’occasion de cet événement pour montrer l’intérêt d’organiser le web sous forme d’arborescences permettant ainsi de lier des sites ou des pages ou des personnes par différents liens thématiques.
