Title: Bitcoin Pearltree (Bookmarks and Directory)
Post by: Drifter on October 23, 2010, 05:09:51 PM
If you travel over to www.pearltrees.com/bitcoin, I've set up a web of bitcoin related links, directories, bookmarks, traders and everything else Bitcoin related. This is not limited whatsoever and is an ongoing process to put together everything from merchants using Bitcoin, to blogs that mention it. Bitcoin related twitter accounts and contacts. The goal is to find, arrange and put together a large array of different Bitcoin services and sites, all together in one place. By scrolling through the pearltree, you can see previews of the page, comments of specific sites, see how many others have it favorited, and can view Bitcoin bookmarks in a more visual manner, organized and grouped. By signing up with pearltrees you can also save any branch of the bitcoin pearltree and place it on your own for easy viewing and saving.

This isn't only limited to a directory, but more of a categorization of bitcoin related bookmarks. If the idea is well-received, I will work on putting together even more links.

Hehe, let's just say I had an inside tip  :P


Glad you guys enjoy the pearltree. I'll continue to add links and organize it as best as possible. If anyone wants their site on the tree, sees one I missed or feels one belongs in a different category, PM me or leave a message here.

Added more blog posts discussing Bitcoin along with a few more odds and ends shops/sites. Some sites are not exactly noteworthy in terms of Bitcoin, only have a bitcoin donate button or something of the sort. I'm thinking how to categorize these still, but the goal is still to recognize as many sites as possible that have something to do with Bitcoin in some form or another, even if it's only accepting donations. Still on the fence about whether or not I should add Adult links, but that's not entirely important.

Also began to customize some of the pearl icons for easier visualization. I might begin keeping a change log mostly for newly added sites, on the main "bitcoin" pearl in the comments section. This will make it easier to see what has recently been added.

I also hope that you explore the opportunity of signing up with pearltree, and saving the bitcoin pearltree to your own. If I comment on a certain pearl, it is automatically sent to the other individuals who have this site/pearl saved on their pearltree, and vice versa. You can receive these notifications on pearltree or e-mail, whenever someone comments on a particular site. This effectively begins a slow expansion of bitcoin site reviews within the bitcoin community, as well as the directory for all the related sites right at your fingertips. You don't have to wade through the forum looking for reviews, they could be sent right to your e-mail (or quickly checked on the pearltree itself)

For example, if 10 people save the bitcoin pearltree to their own, and User 1, John Doe, leaves a comment on the Mt. Gox pearl saying, "This place is great for exchanges!", this message is then sent out to the other 9 individuals, and it's saved under everyones Mt. Gox pearl. Anyone who leaves a comment after this about mtgox.com is added to the list of ongoing comments, creating a viewable history of users' experience with any site that accepts Bitcoin.
