Pearltrees – Changer l’Histoire, sans la modifier « Piratage(s) Éditer le web, rien que ça ! Encapsuler des fragments d’Internet, les organiser, les partager, leur donner du sens. Pearltrees, entreprise du net installée à Paris réussit ce pari. Loin des gesticulations nombrilistes, P. Il existe un microcosme dans la capitale propice au développement. Il écarte rapidement les lourdeurs financières du marché du travail français. De plus, le cadre légal français, souvent dépeint comme contraignant, voire stérilisant n’est pas pour le patron de Pearltrees une source d’angoisses. La communauté est en croissance constante (+30% par mois). Les questions éthiques traversent le net. L’utilisateur est responsable de ce qu’il place dans ses perles. Il n’y a pas de censure, ni de contrôle sur le contenu de Pearltrees, quelle que soit la thématique des perles. Quand on aborde la question de l’échange de fichiers, il a la dent dure contre les instigateurs d’HADOPI. Pearltrees est un média participatif. Pearltrees n’est pas un objet à vocation politique unique.

This guy is running the Internet startup buzz playboo k like perfect, at least for a French startup: he did a tour in the Silicon Valley visiting local influencers and bloggers, sponsored the Traveling Geeks and Leweb, talking at Leweb in plenary session (twice…), creating plug-ins, buttons, that can be placed everywhere on social sites, his site is in English, and so on. As a result, he got heck of a good visibility. And we were very kindly welcomed in the company which looks like an US startup: lots of coffee and… US sized patisserie. The company raised $3m of funding (2m€) out of business angels and family offices. So, Pearltree wants to “curate the web” on a graphical basis. The site was launched in beta form at Leweb. I’m rather skeptic of the outlook for such a tool. Also, the founder said he will think later about building a business model.
Yatedo: Free People Search Admit complexity: a few takeaways from MSF’s “Humanitarian Negotiations Revealed” « Find What Works I snagged a free copy of a recent volume published by Médecins Sans Frontières (aka Doctors Without Borders). Humanitarian Negotiations Revealed: The MSF Experience is a series of case studies from a range of humanitarian contexts, combined with a few essays that take broader looks at how MSF’s approach has evolved over the years. The value of this book stems from the willingness of current and former MSF leaders to take a critical look at how they’ve dealt with incredibly difficult situations over the years. Here’s the meta-lesson I took away from it all: Admitting failure is for sissies. Let’s admit complexity instead. Much of the complexity discussed in the book arises from the politics of delivering aid. Even logistics gets political. Hiring a car in Somalia results in a series of compromises.
