Useful Applications

Pearltrees.comhttp://www.pearltrees.com/

I love this web app which I have added to Google chrome.

As you travel around the internet researching or looking for things you can set up a "Pearl tree" - an overall theme or topic that your are searching for.  You can list as many of these as you want.  When you come across a website, you can then "pearl" it into Pearltrees.

You can also look at other people's pearltrees, add their pearltrees to your own or even form a "team" on a particular topic.  It's a great way to collaborate especially with the sheer amount of information that is accumulating on the web.

My favourite feature:  Unlike other bookmarking sites such as reddit, this is very visual and then tweets your pearl. 

Other considerations:  You need to upgrade to Premium if you want to have "Private" pearltrees which is currently AUD$29.99 on 14/04/2013.
