Everything is Miscellaneous

Google Tech Talks has a new video by one of my favorite authors, David Wineberger, who's new book is titled Everything is Miscellaneous. Although it's kind of long (57:00), it's well worth watching. Here's the abstract:

David Weinberger's new book covers the breakdown of the established order of ordering. He explains how methods of categorization designed for physical objects fail when we can instead put things in multiple categories at once, and search them in many ways. This is no dry book on taxonomy, but has the insight and wit you'd expect from the author of The Cluetrain Manifesto, Small Pieces Loosely Joined, and a former writer for Woody Allen.
