What a weekend… after falling in love with Tweetie, I decided to have another affair. No, I don’t play golf… I discovered visual bookmarking.

My new darling I couldn’t stop playing with listens to the name Pearltrees. You may be familiar with Del.icio.us, the online bookmark sharing system. So you can get a notice what other sites may be interesting for you.

For some reason, Del.icio.us never worked for me. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like in my bookmark folder… haven’t used it since a year, it just looked a little too messy. And I really do like some order in the chaos, especially visual order. Like mindmaps, infographs, and so.

I discovered Pearltrees on the information aesthetics website, “where form follows data“. Useful quote, although the best one I recently read was from the Apple Human Interface Guidelines: “Provide solutions, not features”. Nevertheless, this article was more than interesting in my opinion. I created an account, added some “pearls” to it, and already now I like what I see.

And as they say: one image means more than a thousand words. So maybe you just want to compare a Pearltrees screenshot (full size) with that from Del.icio.us…

Although clinical workload is quite heavy, iPhone development has not halted. Just a little slowed down… But here is some good news: the iNeuroMind application has undergone some major revisions.

I switched layout and purpose to something that better fits my needs, instead of just providing information in separate facts. It just did not make sense to continue that way… do you like mindmaps? Then you’d better take a look at the new screenshots below. MindManager 7 for Mac offers some nice export features to HTML and PDF that become useful.

Lots of work to be done… adding content, solving display issues, thinking about improving layout – but all right, there is progress. The one thing that is driving me crazy is called “provisioning profiles“… Almost 400.000 hits on Google indicates that I am not the only one disliking them. In short: they are the way how Apple makes sure that the developers pays them money in order to distribute an application to an iPhone (even my own). The final app will be free, of course, but until then some distribution issues have to be resolved.

Here are some screenshots to give you an impression of the current work (click for large version):

Thanks for your support and kind remarks! And let’s continue from here… :-)
