David Weinburger: Everything is Miscellaneous
AND while talking about David Weinburger, my favorite philosopher of online worlds has written another book, Everything is Miscellaneous reported here at Juxtaprose.

Here is the elevator pitch for the new book:
We know how to organize things in the real world, whether it's a store, a front page or your kitchen. No matter whether you arrange things alphabetically or by size, you always follow two basic principles: Everthing has a place, and two things can't go in the same place. But, online, those principles don't hold, so we're inventing new ones. For example, a physical photo has to go in one album. But a digital photo of Uncle Bernie on the beach on his birthday can go in as many digital albums as you want -- trips, relatives, beaches, birthdays, funny sunburns, bad comb-overs... And it's not just photos. The new principles for how we organize ideas, information and knowledge are transforming media, education, politics, science, and business - upsetting the old order and the old authorities.
Makes you want to go out and buy one right now? Don't go out, buy it online.
