PRESS RELEASE

Pearltrees launches new Team feature at LeWeb10: becomes the world’s first real-time collaborative curation community.

Paris, France, December 7th, With Pearltrees’ “Team” release curating content becomes social and immediate. In the past, curation was a lonely art practiced by a select few. Now, Pearltrees has turned curation into a playful, social activity. According to Pearltrees CEO Patrice Lamothe “Team allows anyone to harness the power of people to discover the most valuable content on the web; content that they might never find using a typical search engine”

The number of possible uses for Pearltrees Team is virtually infinite.

-  Journalists can now team up to curate public interest topics such as the Wikileaks pages to share them with the world

-  Physicians might team up to curate information on a medical condition like autism for the benefit of their patients

-  Friends can now collaborate to plan a holiday by curating cool locations, hotels, restaurants, etc.

-  Experts and interested parties can work together to organize an aggregation of existing content such as a library of videos.

Other platforms focus on friends or followers; Pearltrees is a social curation community where people connect with one another via shared interests. It is the first place where people from anywhere on the planet can spontaneously “team up” to explore and organize the largest library in the world.

Pearltrees Team has a number of key features that makes it unique:

-  it is the first and only fully collaborative platform: people can team up and curate in real time

-  it is not limited to just a few services: it is possible to curate anything on the web

-  the unique visual interface escapes the limitations of lists and pages giving users the ability to see everything at once or drill down to a specific interest almost instantly

-  Pearltrees also gives users unlimited curation capacity

-  Pearltrees is completely free

Pearltrees is currently in open beta, interested parties can sign up today by visiting www.pearltrees.com. Come see Pearltrees and meet the Pearltrees team at LeWeb10 in Pullman Hall December 8-9, 2010.
