I couldn't post one of my responses, so here's a record of them:

Hey Roderick,

I agree with your analysis of both the chapters. For chapter 8, I thought it was interesting that you focused on information instead of the lack thereof. I felt like Weinberger spent a lot of time talking about how important info was that wasn't included, but you made good points about how you need to understand how the information that is there works.

As for chapter 9, I liked how you focused on research as for why it is important to have an understanding of this topic. I never thought of that. I think it's interesting how you tied in tagging with research, and the implications of that in your work.

Hey Elyse,

I really liked the ties you made with real life and the chapters. The ties you made with the white space we learned about last semester and implicit/explicit information. I would have never thought of that connection! But it's true, in information as with design, the 'white space' is just as important as the rest of the speace.

I have not used StumbleUpon, but after our introduction of it in class, I am definitely going to try it. And it definitely would not be worth my time if it weren't for the 'messiness' of the internet that Weinberger describes.
