Shirky: Ontology is Overrated -- Categories, Links, and Tags on 2009-10-17
- One reason Google was adopted so quickly when it came along is
  that Google understood there is no shelf, and that there is no file
  system. Google can decide what goes with what after hearing from the user, rather than trying to predict in
  advance what it is you need to know.
- Browse versus search is a radical increase in the trust we put in link infrastructure, and in the degree of power derived from that link structure. Browse says the people making the ontology, the people doing the categorization, have the responsibility to organize the world in advance. Given this requirement, the views of the catalogers necessarily override the user's needs and the user's view of the world. If you want something that hasn't been categorized in the way you think about it, you're out of luck.

- - The search paradigm says the reverse. It says nobody gets to tell you in advance what it is you need. Search says that, at the moment that you are looking for it, we will do our best to service it based on this link structure, because we believe we can build a world where we don't need the hierarchy to coexist with the link structure.
