Think about that for a moment. The things that people bother to collect, share and comment on are the things that really matter. It's the signal, not the noise.

The things that lots of people with particular common interests bother to bookmark, share and discuss are often the best, or at least most interesting, things about various topics. Here at Twine, we think that's a pretty fascinating opportunity.

As the Web becomes increasingly noisy, we need to find new ways to sift through the data to find the interesting, useful nuggets. Bookmarking definitely can help do that. Many future search engines will take this into account. In fact, Google is already starting to explore that. I'm sure others will too. I hope Twine can help with that.

Bookmarking and Search

Bookmarks are metadata -- they describe resources on the Web. You can learn a lot about things on the Web by who bookmarks them, how they tag them, who they share them with, what comments are added etc. It's an incredibly rich dataset for learning about the Web.

Bookmarking is not enough anymore. People need a way to collect and share ANY kind of information: documents, notes, emails, products, videos, photos, contacts, tags, collections of things, etc.
