*Pearltrees* is an add-on for the Firefox 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 add-on, 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
add-on'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 add-on. *Pearltrees is a unique and fun way to map the
sites you've visited and share them with family and friends.*Download
