Last week, we sat down with part of the team from Adaptive Blue and talked about (among other things) their new product Glue.
The team has definitely been on the ‘podcast circuit’ as today the next edition of The Semantic Web Gang was published (we syndicate SWG) and also discusses Glue. [Note: Alex Iskold, Adaptive Blue’s CEO, is a regular participant on the Semantic Web Gang, so this isn’t really surprising.]
Beyond discussing Glue, Gang members discuss their perspectives on the events, trends and companies that excelled in 2008… and those with work still to do.

In October’s edition of the Semantic Web Gang, a full complement of regulars is joined by Radar Networks‘ CEO Nova Spivack and Chief Architect Jim Wissner in a discussion of Twine.
Unveiled at the Web 2.0 Summit in November 2007 and released in beta earlier this year, version 1.0 of Twine was opened to the world toward the end of October, and widely reported (See RWW coverage of Twine.)
In this discussion we touch upon the purpose of Twine, review the first few days of live operation, and then focus upon the team’s plans for the future.
When originally announced, Twine was closely associated with the Semantic Web, although the company’s current marketing is less quick to make that link. In conversation we discover more about priorities for the 1.0 release and dig into some of the ways in which semantic technologies will play an increasingly important role moving forward.
