Entropy and disorder

Hi, I'm preparing a seminar about entropy (especially for what concern
thermodynamics and information theory) for a course called History and
Didactics of Informatic. So I read a lot of material on and outside
Internet and I discovered that the idea of entropy as a measure of
disorder is misleading or wrong. There are a lot of well documented
sites about this, such as:

www.entropysite.com

www.entropysimple.com

www.2ndlaw.com

I read again the story Entropy with these new ideas in mynd (because I
have always associated entropy to disorder) and I'm curious to know
your opinion.

Bye.
Carlo
