Please read Helfand essay The Dynamics of Choice and the Death of Hierarchy for Monday. I'm sure you all have the book by now.

I've never really been so critical about the battle for hierarchy that content undertakes. Many things undergo trends, in terms of what subject matter is readable. Right now, one might be interested in reading articles about the AIDS crisis. But, a few years from now, such investigations might seem overshadowed by something else. My question is: how do they determine the popularity of such interaction so that designers can structure the information without making too many assumptions. Maybe one day, the direct feedback of "hits" that a website can offer will inform us of how we see print.
