Compared to pigeonhole cabinets or ledger books, vertical filing was fast, flexible, scalable,
and much more efficient. vertical files held as much as 10 times more than flat
files or box files.
vertical filing was introduced at the 1893 World??™s fair in Chicago where it won a gold
medal. Within 20 years most american businesses were using vertical filing. and those
that keep paper records still do.
Collaborating and Sharing
Sure, tags can be effective as a personal information management tool, but they also
provide the foundation for a simple yet robust kind of social information management.
In the most popular tagging systems, the social rewards are as meaningful as the personal
ones. Participating in a community, sharing our interests, and contributing to the
collective good are all fundamentally human motivations, and social tagging systems
certainly tap into those. But tagging also offers a passive social component that lets you
participate, share, and contribute without actively engaging with other users.
