My company’s product, Twine.com, has made it to the finalist round in the Crunchies, a new annual tech industry awards competition, under the Best Technical Achievement category. Please help us win by casting your vote for Twine here. Thanks!
UPDATE: It turns out, that for some odd reason the Crunchies allows each voter to vote once per day per category — in other words, you can vote multiple times in the same category — one vote per user per day — so please vote for Twine again if you can.
Scoble came over and filmed a full conversation and video demo of Twine. You can watch the long version (1 hour) or the short version (10 mins) on his site. Here’s the link.
If you are going to be in San Francisco on December 13, please join me at the SD Forum Semantic Web SIG event. I’ll be demoing Twine, along with several other presenters showing other interesting apps that relate the semweb. This is a repeat of last month’s SD Forum event in Palo Alto which was so good that they’ve asked us all to come back and do it again.… Read More “Twine Demo at Upcoming Semantic Web SIG in SF on Dec 13”

I’ve been talking about the coming “semantic graph” for quite some time now, and it seems the meme has suddenly caught on thanks to a recent article by Tim Berners-Lee in which he speaks of an emerging “Giant Global Graph” or “GGG.”… Read More “Defining the Semantic Graph — What is it Really?”
Google’s recent announcement of their OpenSocial API’s appears to be a new form of middleware for connecting social networks together. But it’s too early to tell, since the technical details are not available yet. The notion of a middleware service for connecting social networks and sharing data between them makes a lot of sense, and if Google has really made it "open" then it could be very useful.… Read More “Is Google Making Social Networking Middleware?”
What a week it has been for Radar Networks. We have worked so hard these last few days to get ready to unveil Twine, and it has been a real thrill to show our work and get such positive feedback and support from the industry, bloggers, the media and potential users.… Read More “What a Week!”
Tim O’Reilly, recently blogged another article about Web 2.0 Versus Web 3.0 in which he responded to some of my points about what Web 3.0 is and is not. There are several points in his post that I need to respond to.… Read More “Understanding The Semantic Web: A Response to Tim O'Reilly's Recent Defense of Web 2.0”
Hey, I’m posting this to support my friend Kaliya’s (un)conference for women in tech called She’s Geeky, A Women’s Tech (un)conference (October 22-23 in Mountain View, CA).
Here at Radar Networks we’re proud that we have a bunch of really smart women across all areas of the company including Sonja Erickson our awesome VP of systems, Jennifer Agostinelli who runs operations and makes our culture great, Karen Marcelo who hacks code and in her free time builds fire-breathing robots, Lara Fields who hacks RDF in a land called Cucamonga, Susan Mayo who is not only a woman in tech but also a woman in soccer, Tricia Royal who is a designer of many things, and just this week we added Kim Laama on UI, and soon two more women are joining our team.… Read More “Cool Women in Tech”
I’ve been thinking for several years about Knowledge Networking. It’s not a term I invented, it’s been floating around as a meme for at least a decade or two. But recently it has started to resurface in my own work.
So what is a knowledge network?… Read More “Knowledge Networking”
Peter Royal got me interested in GRDDL recently. It looks like something we may want to use here at Radar Networks for scraping data from the Web and turning it into RDF triples. After doing a little digging around lately, I’m wondering if there is a list of sites that support GRDDL yet?… Read More “What's cooking on GRDDL?”
I met today with Jim Wissner, Chief Architect and co-founder of my company, Radar Networks. Jim started the company along with me and Kris Thorisson several years ago when we were just a few guys doing futuristic R&D. Jim has been working for a few months on a "secret project" in his spare time, and today I finally got to see it.… Read More “Jim Wissner's Latest Semantic Web Creation Rocks”
Robert Scoble spent 2 hours with us looking at our app yesterday. We had a great conversation and he had many terrific ideas and suggestions for us. We are still in stealth, so we asked him to agree not say much about what we showed him yet.… Read More “Scoble Gets the Semantic Web”
If you are interested in the future of the Web, you might enjoy listening to this interview with me, moderated by Dr. Paul Miller of Talis. We discuss, in-depth: the Semantic Web, Web 3.0, SPARQL, collective intelligence, knowledge management, the future of search, triplestores, and Radar Networks.
This article on XML.com is a very good summary of the benefits of RDF and SPARQL — two of the key technologies of the emerging Semantic Web.
The SF Chronicle just did an interview with Chris Jones, of my startup, Radar Networks. Here’s the link.
