So, time for a post-mortem since Twine SHOULD have won for "Best Technology Innovation/Achievement."

Did Twine lose because few people have had a chance to try it, or did Twine lose because Crunchies voters don't appreciate that the Semantic Web is nearly or just as important as the World Wide Web was circa 1990?

Register again just tells you that your email is already in the system. And this too clever Register form just intimidate people. Take out those Organization/Title/WebSite whatever junk.

Yes, it is a pity for Twine. But as the previous commenter mentioned, be eager to be a tester but wait for long time and still not be able to watch inside is annoying. Though I personally vote for Twine, I totally understand why Twine gets loss. People would simply say, "where don't I vote for something I can see and test by myself than voting for a beautiful dream I am not allowed to touch?"

You should, in theory, have one by the end of March -- at the latest.

In the interim, play with EarthMind. EM is a semweb play, has cute graphics, too!! This is a compliment, not a disparaging comment. SDS (spatial-data sharing) and CVGE (collaborative virtual geographic environments) are hot topics; EarthMind may own them. Good for EM!! And kudos to them, as well.
