The Case Against Everything Buckets –
Computers work best with structured data. Everything Buckets discourage the use of structured data. [They] cry: “throw it all in here! Search it! Maybe I’ll corrupt my proprietary database, but maybe I won’t and you’ll have the joy of sifting through a mire of RTF documents. Doesn’t that sound great?”
One giant blob of information has never sounded more appealing than an organized hierarchy of data. Maybe I’m just behind the curve.
