Last night, at the EFF party at sxsw, I got to talk with Don Turnbull, a professor at the U of Texas. We talked about metadata, a topic he is very learned, thoughtful and interesting about. This morning, he sent me an email with helpful links to some of the topics we'd talked about (including how the online WorldBook handles tagging entries from the '30s that talked glowingly about that young, dynamic German leader, Adolph Hitler). Excellent. But I'm on the road, so the message came into my laptop's Outlook receptacle, which is a message ghetto in relation to my desktop machine. So, without a trace of irony, I found myself thinking that it's too bad that Outlook doesn't have categories for messages so I could tag Don's message as "Metadata." Posted
