MySpace is going to go the way of Yahoo. Is Facebook’s time. This deal, if real, would make the Broadcast.com and Geocities deals look like pure genius.

My friend Alex Wright has just published an amazing book on the history of information (big topic, smart dude). Alex is a fantastic information architect who has worked on some of the top websites out there (and did a hell of job on a little ditty I like to call Rollyo). In this book, he traces the way we’ve organized information through the ages (think Chomsky’s verb-phrase formula meets information and categorization – could we be pre-wired for organizing information?).

I had the pleasure of reading through some of the book’s early drafts. It’s great stuff. I highly recommend it for anyone, especially us web geeks who think we’ve come up with a whole new way to organize data.
