Radar Networks is preparing for the much-anticipated public launch of its Twine information management software, which is expected in March 2008 and has a waiting list of 30,000 people to be among the first users of the public beta version. Twine has been a hot topic of discussion in the Web 2.0 world since it was presented at the Web 2.0 Summit in October 2007, and Twine has been closed in beta for the last few months. Explaining the demand among information-intensive professions, Radar Networks CEO Nova Spivack explained, It seems that weve hit a nerve... they really need a better way to manage their information. Radar is one of an increasing number of companies with technologies focusing on this trend that is based on permitting individuals, small groups, and large enterprises to better organize themselves and their information and to more effectively share, manage, and store content. For example, LiquidPlanner, a provider of web-based project management software, wants to assist groups of dozens or hundreds of people to manage their projects and interactions. Radars Twine utilizes semantic web technologies to link dissimilar forms of content and information, including e-mails, documents, web links, videos, photos, press articles, and spreadsheets. In addition, Twine learns as it goes, gathering information about the interests of the user to make recommendations and connections among information and with other people. Radar will launch Twine as a free, ad-supported application, but Spivack says that he has received inquiries from big organizations and that a standalone, business-oriented version of Twine is probably going to appear eventually.
