Between social networking sites, like the everpresent Facebook, and social bookmarking sites, like Del.icio.us, lies Twine.

It seems to share the tagging and bookmarking sensibilities of Del.icio.us but adds in the social aspect, forming groups that all contribute to a specific twine topic, helping you as a member of the community discover items they otherwise might have missed. Pretty cool, as long as the commuity is pulling those resources into the twine

from the What is  Twine page:

People all around the globe who are also interested in this topic will contribute relevant content from different sources around the web – into this twine. You can add bookmarks, notes, videos and pictures. Discuss the topics or content with those who share your passions.

Keep track through an email digest that tells you the latest on what’s going on in your twines. You can also keep track through the interest feed or through RSS.

How is Twine different from Facebook or other social media?

Facebook is for tracking what’s happening with your friends.
Twine is for tracking what’s happening with topics, hobbies or people that interest you.

With Twine, you can create a twine of any topic you’d like to track. It can be broad or niche. It can be popular or bizarre. Others who are also really into this topic will join the twine. You can share and exchange information with like-minded people who’s into what you’re into.

I’ve joined a few twines – now what?

You’ll receive an email digest with updates on what’s going on in the Twines you’ve joined. You can keep track through the digest or through the interest feed. You can also keep track through RSS.

What’s next? Start contributing! Add bookmarks or other media to the twine and share what you’ve found. Give your take by leaving your comments.

I’m still getting my fingers into it, but it seems worth sharing. Check it out for yourself.
