Untangling Web Information

October 21, 2008 | Source: Technology Review

Radar Networks’ Twine, a Web organizer based on semantic technology, launches publicly today.

Twine is part bookmarking tool, part social network, and part recommendation engine, helping users collect, manage, and share online information related to any area of interest.

Twine uses machine learning and natural language processing to parse the contents of Web pages and extract key concepts, such as people, places, and organizations, from the pages that a user saves. The site then uses these concepts to link information and users.
