John is absolutely right.. which is why Sifry's error in writing down what I had originally written can be confusing. Peter Morville was speaking of something quite different than what I meant by Serendipitous Connectibility... It will be interesting to see how these terms live on in the future.
Sifry attributes the term to a blog entry by Punya Mishra. Funnily enough Sifry made a mistake in his writing, since this was NOT the term used by Mishra. The original term (as posted in this initial note) was "Serendipitious Connectability."
