So would I. Personally, I find that because the system chooses its own
categories for me, I find it's not very useful. For example, searching
for the name of the company I work for puts our website in a "British"
category within a "General" category, but not the "Company" one.
Presumably because we have a .uk TLD and not a .com, and don't mention
the word "company" in our name. I'd say that was arbitrary to the point
of uselessness, and feels particularly bad because I happen to know that
the categorisation in spurious, but what if I didn't?
