• If you do have to look at polls, you should do it no more than once every few days, to get a general sense of the state of the race.

• What I think is coming instead are much more organic ways of organizing information than our current categorization schemes allow, based on two units - the link, which can point to anything, and the tag, which is a way of attaching labels to links.
