  • Evri Ties the Knot with Twine — Twine CEO Comments and Analysis March 11th, 2010  Share Today I am pleased to announce that my company, Radar Networks, and its flagship product, Twine, have been acquired by Evri. TechCrunch broke the story here. This acquisition consolidates the two leading providers of semantic discovery and search. It is also the culmination of my long and challenging venture to pioneer the adoption of the consumer Semantic Web.
  • The Twine team is joining Evri to continue our work there. Twine.com’s data and users are safe and sound and will be transitioned into the Evri.com service over time. This process will be done in a manner that protects privacy and data, and is minimally disruptive. I have great faith in the team at Evri and believe they will handle this with great care and respect for the Twine community.
  • Twine was well-received by the press and early-adopter users.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • At the time of beta launch and for almost six months after, Twine was still very much a work in progress. Fortunately our users and the press were fairly forgiving as we worked through evolving the GUI and feature set from what was initially just slightly better than an alpha site to the highly refined and graphical UI we have today. During these early days of Twine.com we were fortunate to have a devoted user-base and this became a thriving community of power-users who really helped us to refine the product and develop great content within it.
  • These losses meant we could no longer create compelling content or to manage the Twine community. So we put Twine.com on auto-pilot and let the traffic fall off. While painful to watch, this at least had the benefit of reducing the pressure to scale the system and support it under load, giving us time to focus all our energy on getting T2 finished and raising more funds.

    Where do you Twine a bookmark that doesn't fit into any particular category, or Twine, but is still an interesting diversion from the everyday web experience? Why here of course, in Trawling the 'Net! Trawling for you landlubbers, is a salty fisherman's term for running your boat real slow with a bunch of lines out at different lengths and depths, with different kinds of bait in hopes of attracting tonight's next meal. It's also a good excuse to drink beer, So go ahead, post randomness! There's only Two rules--if you can Twine an item to more than two other places, then most likely it doesn't belong here. And--this is not a political forum. Please keep this feed focused on the frivolous, interesting, and fun. Failing to follow these two simple rules will be cause for immediate expulsion from this Twine. So go ahead, post randomness!"

    "The last 12 months have seen the release of vast amounts of publicly available data, which has led to a bit of conundrum on how to easily visualise complex networks. What is needed is a 'Photoshop for Graphs' which is exactly what Gephi is. In short, Gephi is an interactive visualization and exploration platform for all kinds of networks and complex systems, dynamic and hierarchical graphs - the movie is great: "

    Have you started using it, Wildcat? Looks great to me! I'm wondering if I can get into Twine and make a graph of all that we've done there? Any thoughts?
  • Wildcat2030 wildcat on 31 Mar 10
     
    no, not yet. no time.. but as soon as possible will do, tackling the twine thingy becomes a life project..:-) yeah but I was thinking on the same lines, to somehow graphically represent the network activity we have had on twine. if you do use it pls report. thks
  • Jack Logan on 31 Mar 10
     
    Me too; just too busy, and the Twine thing is hard, like you say, but, Gephi looks very interesting to me as well. Thanks for this, Wildcat!

Are Social Networks Messing with Your Head?: Scientific American - 2 views

  • As social networks proliferate, they are changing the way people think about the Internet, from a tool used in solitary anonymity to a medium that touches on questions about human nature and identity. If Facebook were a country, it would be the fourth most populous in the world, just behind the U.S. Almost half of its users visit every day. Nielsen Online reports that social networking (and associated blogging) is now the fourth most popular online activity. Time spent on social-networking sites is growing at three times the rate of overall Internet usage, accounting for almost 10 percent of total time spent online. Social networks can lessen loneliness and boost self-esteem. But they can also have the opposite effect, depending on who you are and how you use these forums.

    This is not surprising to me. It's been interesting how 'the twine group' has been able to move from app to app to app to try and find a suitable place to communicate, share, and collaborate. Looks like Diigo is the place, at least for the moment! I find that fascinating!
  • fishead ...*∞º˙ on 02 Jan 10
     
    cumon jack...this place Blows twine away. If Kanye were here, he'd say "I'mma letchew finish, but Diigo is the best social bookmarking service EVER."
  • Jack Logan on 02 Jan 10
     
    Absolutely, FishMan! It SO DOES blow Twine away. But, I'm thinking out-into-th-future! There's something on the horizon that will blow Diigo away, ... but, for the moment, it's only a fantasy. I have lots of fantasies, so, ... don't spend any time letting it worry you! LOL, FishMan!

    "After shopping itself around to all the major search engines, Radar Networks finally found a buyer in another semantic search startup. Today, Evri is announcing that it will be acquiring Radar Networks, along with its core technical team and its main product, Twine. Rumors surfaced yesterday on ReadWriteWeb that Evri was being acquired, but that is not the case. Evri is the acquirer."

    I read the article as well. Very interesting as well! It's hard to tell if anything in T1 will be maintained, so I guess we'll have to wait to hear an announcement from Evri on that. I've been a member of Evri - I'll take a look over there next!

    This is interesting, but, with all that I'm doing with trying to do the same thing on my new site (which I'd like you to take a look at sometime, FishMan, for your worldly advice!) www.jackdlogan.com - it's a mess right now, but I can't get access to the Apple servers in the cloud this morning!) I'm not so sure I want to do both at the same time. If you do anything with it, let me know what you think, please!

    you mis-spelled diigo as diggo. and how come my website isn't under friends alongside aasemoon's.. oh yeah, I don't have one, right, check, roger
  • Jack Logan on 13 Jan 10
     
    Hey, thanks for the look - Diggo corrected to Diigo, ... THANKS! - I thought Visual Complexity was your site, ... not? I have a failing memory and I remembered in one of our Twine conversations that somehow I got the impression that that's your web site. I love the site, but I'll put it somewhere else, if it's not yours.

    nope not I, I am osare dot com and thirdmeta dot com - neither is developed, but it's #13,265 on the list of things to do :-) which reminds me, I need to check on my domain expiries

  • Twine faltered under poor usability and the leadership of Spivak, considered to be both one of the smartest people in the internet industry and a caustic egotist.
  • I hope and expect that Nigel, Tim and others will devote at least as much attention to issues of trust, provenance, licensing etc as to the details of angle brackets, triples and ontologies."
