Pearltrees<\/a> is a creative and visual way to save and manage your favourite websites or \u2018pearls\u2019 as they are known. \u2018Pearls\u2019 – websites, files, photos and notes – can be saved and organised into what\u2019s known as \u2018pearltrees\u2019. These \u2018trees\u2019 can be created and organised around subjects of interest. For example, you may have an interest in photography and want to save lots of interesting websites, blogs, photos on the topic. Using Pearltrees it\u2019s simple. Just create a \u2018tree\u2019 called \u2018photography\u2019 and start to save \u2018pearls\u2019 Visually, the pearltrees have a tree-like structure much like mind mapping. Similar tools exist such as Delicious<\/a> and Diigo<\/a>, which are less visual. These are more commonly known as social bookmarking tools and allow you to save favourite websites in lists which can be tagged with words that identify them.<\/p>\n
