[Sigia-l] Card Sorting

[Paula Thornton]

Thanks for all the insightful observations about card sorting (an activity 
that has only seemed moderately useful, but I couldn't assess why). Some of 
the added insights about 1) the significance of assessing and facilitating 
the distinctions between modes of 'seeking' vs. 'digesting', 2) an 
over-reliance on 'finding' as the primary goal of interactions ['finding' 
being a very large and very specific 'doing', which needs certain 
specialization, but is but one 'doing' activity], and 3) that the REAL value 
of card sorting as an activity are social benefits.

I've known a lot of this all along, but couldn't quite pull it out of my 
conciousness until everyone spoke to it from their own experiences and in 
their own words. This was tremendously helpful. Thanks.
