Clay Shirky, Making Digital Durable - Seminars About Long Term Thinking
on: Google Video
"THIS is what the Internet has been straining to become," said Clay Shirky Monday night, both joking and meaning it. He was referring to a category ("tag") which emerged from users on the photo-sharing site Flickr. The category is "cats in sinks."...Shirky pointed out that "cats in sinks" has none of the limitations of former category systems such as the Dewey Decimal System or the Library of Congress scheme or Yahoo's hierarchical category structure. There is no need for a category "cats" with subcategory "in sinks," nor a category "sinks" with subcategory "cats in".
