Twine goes fully public with next-generation bookmarking » VentureBeat
by Decius at 1:56 pm EDT, Oct 21, 2008

Another very MemeStreams like company with a whole lot of veture funding.

Twine, a bookmarking and knowledge-tracking application developed by Radar Networks, is leaving its closed beta tonight with an array of new features, in hopes of becoming one of the definitive websites of the next generation of the Internet.

Here is an interesting observation:

But the most likely problem would be that it’s just too early for something like Twine. About half of web users don’t even use search engines yet, so it might be a symptom of the Silicon Valley bubble to assume large numbers of people want an information tool like Twine.

Yeah I don't understand that either. Its like one of those statistics showing that 50% of American teenagers can't find New York State on a map. However, judging by Google's market cap I don't think it matters too much in terms of understanding the value of a startup. Its an odd thing to bring up.
