April 6, 2006

Classified. Do you want your blogs classified?

Ann Althouse said...: Now that you mention it, I dislike the West Key Number System.

Before I went to law school I had a day job that consisted of classifying everything in various magazines. Everything had to go in one and only one category.

Basically, with blogging, I like unclassfiable blogs the best, and for my own blogging, I'm interested to see what will strike me as bloggable next.; 4/6/06, 11:03 PM

Ann Althouse said...: Ian: I like blogs that reflect an author's interests, especially where there is potential for continual surprise. I like a blogger who seems to be a full person, living in public, through the blog, not someone who is trying to improve his professional standing.; 4/7/06, 7:38 AM
Michael said...: To classify is an irresistible human impulse.

It's also often fruitless and counterproductive.

Much like my comment. ;); 4/7/06, 10:32 AM

Or perhaps "pigeonholed" if I wanted to be negative about it.; 4/7/06, 11:42 AM
