Organize the web – visually - Mind Mappi
Pearltrees is a new visual bookmarking tool that utilizes a mind map-like interface to help you to organize your web page shortcuts in a much more intuitive way than the typical browser bookmark list. It also enables you to connect with other users who share similar interests, which places it in the same camp as other social bookmarking tools. But Pearltrees is different – very different.

It was a wonderful experience, not only because of the practical skills I picked up but also because my team was assigned to interview Jeff Heer, then a graduate student studying data visualization.

Getting it done Ensure your keyword or keyphrase appears in your page titles and headlines, ideally towards the front of each. The 10 Most Important Secrets of Powerful Presenters I am one of those people who loves giving speeches and presentations. From what I have heard, I’m in a minority. Many people dislike giving speeches, but I’ve always had a hard time understanding that.

An interesting review - even though it might be one of the worth review pearltree had so far - the detailled analysis of pearltrees usability is very usefull and the feedback are always actionable. One surprizing thing however is that many of the authors suggestion are... already in place. Such as writing "home" at the top of the interface, or enabling users to pearl in just one click.
