This just arrived at 5 p.m. today, a few hours after I was on Open Source Radio providing librarian color (alongside Tim Spalding, who provided… thingology color?) for an interview with David Weinberger. I probably wasn’t that interesting, since I agree with David on many points, though I still see uses for controlled vocabularies while David is way out there with leveraging the wisdom of crowds and community-as-author, etc.
I’ll get cracking on it tonight–I’ve read the prologue, and I’m eager to dig into the whole book!

Is Emma reading it too?
I am listening to this interview right now and you are great. I keep hoping someone will bring up some classification theory like Rosch’s prototypes and basic level categories.
And what is Christopher Lydon like?
Very enjoyable conversation. (Helps that I am writing a paper on collaborative tagging and human classification theory…. don’t ask.)
Favorite quote of the night so far: “Metadata is cool!”
Cheers!
She’s my writing advisor!
Hey. Can I show your cat photo (with credit) on my blog?
Absolutely!
