Tied up with Twine?
grant balfour | Nov 16 2007
New Scientist has a piece in this week's newsletter on using the "semantic web" to get organized, focusing on a site with which I'm unfamiliar called Twine. It's in invite-only Beta now, but might be worth checking out. Key grafs : Twine uses a semantic approach to act as a personal organiser, bookmark service, and a social network combined. A user adds information to Twine by creating a note, forwarding an email, uploading a document, or tagging a web page. Anybody around here on the invite-only list? What's it like having your email annotated? How's it going? 1 Comment

About grant Bio grant lives in a palatial suburban estate in West Palm Beach, Florida, surrounded by chickens, dogs, cats, children and semi-animate piles of clutter. Older, irregular writings on various topics can be found at Flying Fists, although lately he spends more time trying to get people to join him recording songs of discovery (and reading the latest weird science headlines) at The Guild of Scientific Troubadours. He is an Aquarius, a vayu/kapha body type with a tendency to stagnant liver heat, and remembers when the internet was just a bunch of UFO enthusiasts and HAM radio nuts dialing up to local BBSes to post on something called FIDOnet. His day job is writing about unexplained phenomena for Sun, a magazine that has yet to catch up with FIDOnet's amazing technological breakthrough, but can be found on dead trees in supermarkets nationwide. |
