A very interesting essay I found the other day

Ontology is Overrated

The author talks about how traditional forms of classification don't seem to work very well for the internet, and how people are using the inherent characteristics of the net to create a new type of categorization.

There are lots of other intriguing looking essays on the site http://www.shirky.com/.
