Twine is a new service that intelligently helps you share, organize and
find information with people you trust.

Share more productively. In Twine you can safely share information and
knowledge, and collaborate around common interests, activities and
goals. Twine helps you better leverage and contribute to the collective
intelligence of your network. Use Twine to share more productively with
friends, colleagues, groups and teams.

Get more organized. Twine provides one place to tie everything
together: emails, bookmarks, documents, RSS feeds, contacts, photos,
videos, product info, data records, and more. And, because Twine
actually understands the meaning of any information you add in, it helps
you organize all your stuff automatically. Finally, you can search and
browse everything and everyone you know, about anything, in one
convenient place.

Find and be found. You are like a snowflake - you are totally
one-of-a-kind. Twine recognizes what makes you special: your unique
interests, personality, knowledge and relationships, to help you find
and discover things, and be found by others, more relevantly.

Who is Twine For?
Friends. Colleagues. Groups. Teams. Anyone who needs help dealing with
the growing array of information and relationships on the Web today.
Whether you just need to organize and share with friends, or you need to
collaborate better with teams, Twine provides the smartest way to tie it
all together.

How Does Twine work?
We thought you*d never ask! Well, in a nutshell Twine uses the
Semantic Web, natural language processing, and machine learning to make
your information and relationships smarter. But if that*s all Greek to
you, just think of Twine as your very own intelligent personal Web
assistant, working for you behind the scenes so you can be more
productive.
