David Weinberger, Tim Spaulding (of LibraryThing fame) and Karen Schneider (the Free Range Librarian) were on Radio Open Source yesterday. You can listen to it here. I haven’t listened but I plan to be downloading it to my iPod so I can listen on the bus one day soon. They talked about Daivid Weinberger’s new book and the organization of all digital. Christopher Lydon refers to it as a “new taxonomy of knowledge taking shape”. Tune in. I’m sure it’s a good one.

I’ll check it out. That also reminds me of this (http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/mtarchive/003386.html) Weinberger address (you can get video, too) to the Library of Congress. It’s an oldie (2004), but a really good introduction for people who are knew to the idea of mixing old school classification and new school (well, new in ‘04) tagging.
