There's a Brian Eno quote
Forgetting is as important as remembering.
I forget where I got it from.

As to categorization and how to cluster people and ideas and topics, I am finding a surprising amount of usefulness in sorting my Bloglines feeds by geography and not by topic. Too many of my friends cover too much ground, and it is in many senses more interesting to read all of the Chicago blogs together than it is to read all the KM blogs together. Doing it this way gets you a little more view and insight into the interpersonal overlaps, and makes it a lot more clear who you would want to call when you are in town visiting.

all the more reason to try to ferret out a home base for them - if you can make a connection to some real tangible location (e.g. do you know whose home base is Winter Park, FL 32789?) people can be thought of much less as abstractions.
