Content is king?
I recently had the opportunity of fielding many requests for building and modifying websites. It came as a surprise to me that in 2008 there was still such little emphasis on the business purpose of a website and the role that content plays in its whole reason for being.

Misconceptions about library classification
I recently attended two presentations on 'taxonomies in the digital environment', presented by respected information management specialists. Both presenters viewed classification as practised by librarians as a quaint anachronism unsuited to the digital world. The tone was patronising. There appears to be a misconception that librarians practise a simple, strict taxonomy which doesn't allow for information to be described from multiple perspectives.
