Hey editors and visitors!
Today I am proud to show you the first funny gazette. Beware, all the maps mentionned have a terrible hilarious effect!

First I want to hail Aldaris’ huge map “Vidéos fun“. He chose hundreds of humorous videos (hidden cameras, silly adds, stand up, mozinor, series…) and managed to organized them efficiently. This is one of the most untertaining and addictive map I have seen so far!

In the same global approach, Touba’s map « Humour » gathered websites providing loads of daily jokes (e.g. “Vie de Merde”) and the map “Blagosphère” made by alcide presents amusing blogs and comic websites.
Now the next three maps reveal a new generation of musicians that blend music and humour. Watch out!

First you cannot avoid the hilarious band “Flight of the conchords” (map made by Cotten). Two musicians from New-Zealand who write incredible lyrics and do a great show.

It is not so far from the duo “La chanson du Dimanche” (map made by nicolas). Two prolific guys singing about any subjects as long as they can do it in a funny way.

Eventually, through dbikard’s map you will discover an original band called «La pompe moderne». Basically it sounds just as if Georges Brassens were interpreting nowadays hits, with its particular charm and prose…
Enjoy!

You already know that pearltrees’ users are organizing the web around maps. They are creating their own vision of the web. After few weeks playing with pearlrees, I was wondering “what does your web looks like?”. So I have visited different accounts, at different stages, I took some screenshots, and it is amazing to see that each author’s map has its own identity.
Newcomer’s map often looks like this:

Then new maps are created and roughly stored at the root level:

Finaly the root map becomes a real edited map which embodies its author. Here is some screenshots of the biggest pearltrees accounts with my comments.

wallen and francois might be the biggest account in pearltrees. These two users are handling a huge amount of pearls. It is funny to see they are both handling their account in a very clean way with only 5 maps at the root.


patrice and myself use a different shape. We consider our account as a map and we create branches. We visually guide our visitors in our account. But it is not a normal map, you have to consider it as your place and you might optimize it considering your day-to-day tasks. Currently I’m planning to go to Japan, thus my map “Japan” is at the root of my account.

Or you can use karim‘s approach where his account is already a guided experience where you will be happy to lose yourself. Karim’s account is very interesting and I think every user should tend to create a structured root map. It brings a better usage for both author and visitors. Секс нужен, как еда. Большое количество анкет проституток на сайте Путанамама. Полезный интим у индивидуалки мгн . Шлюхи Магнитогорска хотят вашего внимания и денег.
Comment this article with your account URL if you want to share with us your root map shape!

Hey editors and visitors!
I hope that you are in an environmentalist mood because today we will have a green gazette!

First, Barbara’s “Climate change” will give you a broad view about global warming and other environmental issues. The map “Environment” (by Pierro_v) also provides astute websites, which highlight fundamental stakes. Knshiro’s map explains all the basics about “Fairtrade“.

In a more personnal scale:
Bob‘s “polycarbonate house” shows innovative architectures techniques that bodes well for environmental building.
ABlodola did an unusual map about the “Agroforesterie“. I guess you do not know really know what it is… No worries, a lot of information are available, as well as some training tips!
An other surprising map was done by lamlufla. It is called “e-courses” and it is about online environmental shopping such as organic food or clothes.
Eventually, if you want to discover more about global warming issues here is a link to Al Gore’s ” inconvenient truth“, which draws very worrying facts.

Enjoy! (if I dare say…)
