Sounds like a company that is advertising the "internet"twine = facebook + wikipedia + google + diggJust because you can combine everything into one spot doesn't mean people want that, most people like having things seperate, i would much rather have 4 sites to visit to get my fill of the internet than 1 site.
soo funny, you have to give these guys some credit for their Marketing and building this kind of hype around a product that really doesn't seem too exciting.People automatically get intrigued with a new company if it has the following elements:1. Some big name VC guy(s) behind it2. 'Web 3.0' thrown in there somewhere (BSSS)3. 'Patent pending' (which doesn't mean anything)4. A jacked up process that no one really understands, that keeps the people guessing We have seen way too many of these startups come and go. The 'Hype' can only take you so far, to go all the way you have to build products that are clear, helpful, functional, and to the point.

Supposedly this is driven on some sort of semantic framework like RDF, RDFS, OWL, etc. That's new in itself.

So essentially he's patenting the exact idea of semantic web? Can he do that?

That sounds retarded. Think about what you just said. You pretty much destroyed the whole point of RSS in one fell, ill-informed, swoop.

This is great but there is much more you can do with auto inserting data, gathered from net.
