But as we move information on line, it no longer has to share the limits on the physical. We are rapidly inventing new principles of order, moving from newspapers to blogs, from encyclopedias to Wikipedia, from librarians to taggers. In fact, it turns out that the best way to manage digital information is *not* to have experts filter and sort it before hand, but to make a huge miscellaneous pile of it, include everything, and allow users to sort and organize it. This opens up new opportunities, but it fundamentally changes the nature of authority across all of our major institutions, including business, the media, science, education and government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything is Miscellaneous by David Weinberger Book Release Party Monday, April 30 Berkman Center for Internet &amp; Society faculty, fellows and community join David Weinberger to celebrate the release of his book Everything is Miscellaneous through Times Books.
