How Does the New Digital Order Work?

So how do things work in the third order? People organize things the way they personally and individually think about them. They put them into folders or classify them as ‘alike.’ They can put the same things (e.g. documents) into several places. They can tag things. They can search on their own tags — as well as other people’s tags. Tools such as del.icio.us, YouTube and Flickr do this today without imposing ways of organizing things on the user/participant/community.
