Order Is in the Eye of the Tagger | Wired

November 11, 2007 by Peter Fletcher

Dave Weinberger writes about the ways in which we order our world. He claims we are either lumpers or splitters, referring to the way in which we tend to divide or combine information to achieve our objectives. Weinberg uses the example of the way in which we might arrange a linen closet – combining sheets but separating them from towels – in order to make finding an item easier later.

Weinberg wrote the book Everything is Miscellaneous.
