Everything is Miscellaneous

The full 29 mins of my interview with David Weinberger about his book Everything is Miscellaneous is now available for your listening pleasure.

In this interview we trace how the web is changing the way we order knowledge, what happens when we move from rigid taxonomies to fluid folksonomies generated by the tags individual net users apply to information. The discussion gets a bit philosophical at times, but I think it's worth underlining how the new technologies relate to some very old intellectual puzzles, such as the problem of universals. But don't be put off by that link, like most problems in philosophy the problem is simple to state, but hard to answer.
