[IxDA Discuss] categories, sections, tags

[Jeff Howard]

Clay Shirky wrote an article a while back that talked about this
problem.

Ontology is Overrated: Categories, Links, and Tags
http://www.shirky.com/writings/ontology_overrated.html

"Today I want to talk about categorization, and I want to convince
you that a lot of what we think we know about categorization is
wrong. In particular, I want to convince you that many of the ways
we're attempting to apply categorization to the electronic world are
actually a bad fit, because we've adopted habits of mind that are
left over from earlier strategies."
