Looks interesting.

"Twine actually understands the meaning of any information
you add in".  Hmmm.

The home page doesn't work without JavaScript. I wonder
if they're working on an Accessible version.

I wonder where the tags come that are in the R/WW article's
screenshots. The tag 'Green', for example is in the context
of environmental issues but what happens when someone uses
it to mean the colour?

Folksonomies are so hit-and-miss when findability is important;
I would hope for something a little more sophisticated in a
system that claims it "uses the Semantic Web, natural language
processing, and machine learning to make your information and
relationships smarter."

I think it'd take a lot for me to move my bookmarks out
of delicious and photos out of Flickr into a new networking
site.

I've signed up for the invite. I suspect I'll end up
admiring Twine.
