David Weinberger on the differences between the old way of classifying things (trees) and the new way of classifying things (leaves, a.k.a folksonomies):
"The old way — trees — make sense in controlled environments where ambiguity is dangerous and where thoroughness counts. Trees make less sense in the uncontrolled, connected world that cherishes ambiguity."
