Twine: The First Mainstream Semantic Web App?
Radar Networks will announce a new Semantic Web application called Twine. Its founder Nova Spivack showed a demo of the new application that was described as a “knowledge networking” application. it is a combination of social networking, blogging, wikis, and knowledge management systems, but its highlight is that it is built with Semantic Web technologies. Twine wants to bring a usable and scalable interface to what has been promised a long time ago by the Semantic Web.
Twine wants to be “the first mainstream Semantic Web application”. There have been lots of theories about the Semantic Web, but there are yet very few large scale success stories (if any). The question now is will Twine finally break through as the Semantic Web app?
