Time to go from Yahoo to Google in filing

When Yahoo began it was a search engine based on classifications.  You went to a sub category: Business, marketing, plan and found a list of search returns under the last sub-category.

That is still the way most people maintain their computer files.  The main problem with the category storage approach is that you can forget your category structure pretty quickly and you usually end up with a gigantic "miscellaneous" category because category creation is time consuming and difficult.

The alternative, which I started using inadvertently is just collect the incoming material and find what I'm looking for with a desktop Google search. 

I still put photos in one file, because it is easier to look through Picasa at the image than to tag it.
