Pearltrees - Nice Idea - But Usability Sucks


Thunderbolt or lightning,


Pearltrees is an interesting concept.  You collect the "pearls" of information that you value on the web and connect them in subject categories like the branches of a tree.  Together all the branches of "pearls" represent your range on interests.

You can also drag in other peoples branches - and hence benefit from their collected pearls of wisdom.

This could be a very interesting Social Media Marketing Platform - yet, I found the usability of the site awful - not intuitive in the slightest.  Also very slow.

However, the platform is in Beta though and thus maybe this is something to keep an eye on for the future.
