Twine–Helping Your Organize Your Web
Techcrunch has a review of Twine, one of the latest web organization utilities, in the vein of Zotero. What seems to make Twine interesting, however, is the way it can generate smart tags and join them together. Erick Schonfeld writes:
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. For example, you might bookmark this post and Twine would create tags for all the people mentioned in it (Nova Spivack, Paul Allen, Peter Rip, and Ron Conway). It would also create tags for the organizations related to the post, such as Radar Networks and DARPA, but also Paul Allen’s venture firm Vulcan Capital—even if Vulcan was never mentioned in the post.
It looks as if it’s in beta now and you have to register to get a chance to try it out. I have registered, and if I get an account, I’ll let you know what I think of it.
