Check The MetaWeb Graphic

The Metaweb from Nova Spivak of www.mindingtheplanet.net

I love the upper right quadrant, but I get a hit off of David Snowden's distrust of 2x2s which oversimplify issues -- or even misrepresent them. In this case the dichotomy of the two axis emphasizes the unnatural split between information connectivity and social connectivity.

I'm struggling with a similar categorization problem in the Tech Study I'm collaborating on. We categorize to simplify and show patterns, but it is the categorization people remember, not the complex substrate from which it springs.

Is this a problem or am I worrying needlessly?
