Post 4 for Weinberger

Weinbergers Everything is Miscellaneous is mostly about digital organization for today. It really is dedicated to understanding the different ways in which things can be organized or categorized, whether it be digital or otherwise. For the most part, we learn that organization is far more particular than we may have noticed. It follows a set trend and is actually logical in almost all methods (to a certain point).

This is important because as a DTC major it is important to understand the ways in which the web is being organized and effected by these ideas. While some may think that the web is this relatively unorganized base of knowledge, part of our job as DTC majors is to make this more clear and make it so that people are able to access and understand the ways in which the web works.

  1. This is really vague, so much so that I can't totally tell if you read the book or not. Work on really providing some details from the book (tagging, knowledge, metadata, in/extrinsic knowledge, etc etc etc). I do, again, like your connections to DTC however, so there is that :)
