Twine

Al Web 2.0 Summit, Radar Network, azienda fondata da Nova Spivack, ha finalmente tolto il velo alla sua creatura, Twine:

Twine is a new service that intelligently helps you share, organize and find information with people you trust.

… in a nutshell Twine uses the Semantic Web, natural language processing, and machine learning to make your information and relationships smarter.

In attesa di poterla testare leggiamo ciò che scrive TechCrunch:

Twine is a place to organize information you find or create on the Web—bookmarks, notes, videos, photos,contacts, tasks.

You can also share that information with a private group or publicly. Once you ingest in all the information you want to organize, Twine applies a semantic analysis to it that creates tags for each document or video or photo. The tags match up to concepts that Twine’s algorithms associate with each piece of content, regardless of whether that concept is specifically mentioned in the Web page or other content being tagged.

Twine is putting structure onto all of this unstructured data that is out there by analyzing it and adding tags to it that are connected together. The network of links between these tags is something that Spivack calls the “semantic graph,” which includes the “social graph” that is made up only of those tags categorized as people

Decisamente interessante. Per alcuni aspetti è simile all’applicazione che ho sempre sognato (o meglio ne è l’imprescindibile punto di partenza).
