This presentation gives a whirlwind overview of the shiny vizporn and kinetic data sculptures to date and explains what it takes to make synthesis and visualization of Web 2.0 data useful on a daily basis, for individuals and groups.
Twine: the Social Graph meets the Semantic Web - Lew Tucker (Radar Networks)
We'll discuss and demo an innovative new service: Twine.com, built on a semantic web platform and designed to grow and enrich communities of interest. Semantics are used through-out as the system automatically annotates information with meta data, tags, and relationships.
