Crazy folder names

---

Great blog here (which I found via Patrick Lambe's blog) and which shares some of the worst folder names ever

Folder naming is part of KM, in as much as knowledge owners need to make sure that the knowledge for which they are the stewards, is accessable and findable. Heaven only knows what you would find in some of the folders below (the text in capitals is a grouping or taxonomy of these apalling folder names)

CONTENT OWNERS WERE BAD DOCUMENT GUARDIANS:

Abandoned Content
Content That Is Up For Adoption
Floating in the Ether
Left Behind

Unclaimed

DEEP FRUSTRATION:

Called Joe But He Wont Call Me Back_Toss It?
Effing Crap
Help!
I No Longer Care
Jill’s Train wreck
No_One_Will_Step_Up_To-The_Plate

DISORDER REIGNS SUPREME:

A Big Mess
Collection of Junk
Disaster_I_Inherited
Hopefully Trash
Random Crap
Something Went Terribly Wrong

MULTIFARIOUS:

UNCERTAIN TONE:
