Twine.com - Share, Organize, and Find Information with People You Trust
19th Oct 2007
(Review)
Twine.com today announced the invite-beta of a new service that gives users a smarter way to share, organize, and find information with people they trust. Twine was introduced and previewed publicly for the first time today, at the 2007 Web 2.0 Summit, a Web industry conference in San Francisco. Twine is one of the first mainstream applications of the Semantic Web, or what is sometimes referred to as Web 3.0.
Twine provides a smarter way for people to leverage and contribute to the combined brainpower of their relationships. “We call this ‘knowledge networking,’” said Radar Networks Founder and CEO Nova Spivack. “It’s the next evolution of collective intelligence on the Web. Unlike social networking and community tools, Twine is not just about who you know, it’s about what you know. Twine is the ultimate tool for gathering and sharing knowledge on the Web.”
Twine helps people band together to share, organize and find information and knowledge around common interests and goals. Individuals can use Twine to share and keep track of information, regardless of where that information is primarily stored. Groups and teams can use Twine to collaborate and manage knowledge more productively.
Twine is unique because it understands the meaning of information and relationships and automatically helps to organize and connect related items. Using the Semantic Web, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence, Twine automatically enriches information and finds patterns that individuals cannot easily see on their own. Twine transforms any information into Semantic Web content, a richer and ultimately more useful and portable form of knowledge. Users of Twine also can locate information using powerful new patent-pending social and semantic search capabilities so that they can find exactly what they need, from people and groups they trust.
Twine pools and connects all types of information in one convenient online location, including contacts, email, bookmarks, RSS feeds, documents, photos, videos, news, products, discussions, notes, and anything else. Users can also author information directly in Twine like they do in weblogs and wikis. Twine is designed to become the center of a user’s digital life.
