*Pearltrees* is an extension for Google's Chrome browser that lets you
bookmark your favorite sites in a uniquely visual way. If you're an avid web
surfer, you're probably up to your eyeballs in bookmarks. Are they a
disorganized mess? If you're looking for a new way to keep things organized,
Pearltrees might just do the trick for you. After you install the Pearltrees
extension, you'll have to create an account with a unique username and
profile picture. Then you have the option of adding several different
Pearltrees toolbar buttons to your browser. Every time you want to save a
page, just click the little blue button with the white star in its center.
You can either create a new pearltree, which is essentially the beginning of
a *mind map*, or you can add the website to an existing one. *Each website
you add is called a pearl*, and after you add several in Pearltrees, you'll
have a tree of sorts (hence the extension's name). In this way you can create
entire trees of related websites for easier browsing. Pearltrees also has a
*social element* to it. You can share your website finds on Facebook and
Twitter, as well as via email. If you're particularly proud of an entire tree
you've created, you can share it in the same way, and also embed it into your
blog or website. It's a really unique concept that can become quite visually
appealing, depending on the sites you're bookmarking. There are still a few
bugs developers will need to work out in Pearltrees. Some pearls display the
same name as their corresponding Pearltree with the word "end" immediately
next to it, for some reason. It's a minor issue but something that'll likely
need to be fixed in later versions of the extension. *Pearltrees is a unique
and fun way to map the sites you've visited and share them with family and
friends.*Download *Pearltrees (for Chrome) 6.0.3* in Softonic
