Twine (at Twine.com) was an online social web service for information storage, authoring and discovery that existed from 2007 to 2010. It was created and run by Radar Networks. It was announced on October 19, 2007 and opened to the public on October 21, 2008.[1] On March 11, 2010, Radar Networks was acquired by Evri Inc. along with Twine.com.[2] On May 14, 2010, twine.com was shut down, becoming a redirect to evri.com.
Twine combined features of forums, wikis, online databases and newsgroups[3] and employed intelligent software that automatically mined and stored data relationships[4] expressed using RDF statements.
