[...] Twine “applies a semantic analysis to it that creates tags for each document, 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. What Twine basically does is automatically generating smart tags and connects them together.” as explained by ERP-network. [...]

Is it just del.icio.us with nice GUI? Looks like it’s a bit more SN like Facebook, it better not go down the Social Network route of Facebook. It’d be great to replace my annoying StumbleUpon and have better intelligence as it claims.

This seems like a different flavor of Freebase.com from Danny Hillis’ Metaweb? Nova, could you illustrate the differences, if any? My first instinct is that this is just a rehashed Freebase – which BTW does not seem to have a great uptake.

@NosyJoe
Interesting… But I don’t think these are comparable. Obviously I don’t have hands-on experience with either Twine or NosyJoe, but from what I’ve gathered NosyJoe relies on user submissions for interesting stuff then runs it through the “auto-magic process” (my words, not theirs) for searches. My understanding of Twine is less Digg-like and more on a personal level with the ability to make my collection of stuff private/friends/public viewable (and thus, searchable).

@John F.
Above and beyond the potential for information sharing between friends, I do an immense amount of searching for stuff at work. Rare and hard to find information gets printed (so I have a hard copy in case the original site goes poof) and bookmarked (del.icio.us). For a while I was using clipmarks (to avoid having to hard copy stuff), and so on and so forth.

I’ve considered setting up a wiki for paraphrasing and reference links. The problem with this is that I don’t have the time at work to always make these notes for the wiki, etc. Having something that bookmarks, allows notes, tasks, etc. sounds like a godsend.

Yeah, there’s stuff out there that does this (mostly diverse services for different aspects), but the icing is the semantic bit and the auto-tagging. If twine begins even half as great as this sounds on paper, I’ll be a happy camper.
