PRIV V88 PearlTrees


Page no: V88

 

PearlTrees is a website for organizing content, for example articles or links on the web.

PearlTrees contains collections; it is like folders on a computer or boxes in real life. The following is the base PearlTrees screen for George Dorgan. It shows 25 collections. We are able to drag and drop articles/web links into the different collections or buckets or folder.

Articles:

On the bottom we can see different articles (web site links). We would like that they are in the correct buckets. So an article about China goes to “China & Emerging Markets”, an article about Merkel goes to the Germany box.

Easy:

Gold (not Swiss)
Tech (blog)
Tech (social & privacy)
Tech (other)
Russia
China and Emerging Markets
Italy
Germany
Richard Koo (when you see the name)
Michael Pettis (when you see the name)

 

Relatively easy:

Inflation
Eurocrisis (this is Spain and Greece)
Housing (all about house prices)
Econ. History (when you see old dates)
Markets (when you see stock market, bonds)
Psychology and Religion

 

You should never touch the difficult ones:

Pocket Export

I have exported many links from getpocket.com to Pearltrees. The import tries to order them by theme. This, however, fails a bit. The import creates many folders that

  • Are named like a link
  • but these folders/collections contain other links.

Tasks:

  1. Move the links inside the Pocket Export folder into the correct collection/bucket.
  2. Inside Pocket Export there are again folders.
  3. Delete folders when you have moved all links away.
    The example shows the folder “history” inside Pocket Export. Here you can move all links into “Economic History” and you can delete the folder once all links are moved. For this you need to go one folder up.
  4. Move only easy links – see above the definition which links you should move.
  5. Find a nice pic for the collections that still use my photo (like Inflation, Economic Theory, Tech, Psycho&Religion) – but not inside Pocket Export!!
  6. Hint: If the link is in German then you have good chances for collection Germany, Swiss Macro, SNB or CHF
