The Long Tail Video


An amazing introduction [by the publisher] to a now best-selling book, The Long Tail. Chris Anderson graciously sent me a review copy which I have just completed reading. I’ll get around to reviewing it soon but this short animated video should interest you enough to get a copy for yourself.

    fyi- maybe u have seen it already. when asked – chris anderson had no data to back up his inferences. this appeared as an article in WSJ.

    Hawkeye, what specific inferences are your talking about? I guess Chris responded to few criticisms but according to me, his inferences were supported by solid examples and data.

    I am glad you got this book for free. Being a huge fan of Wired, I waited for a long time and bought this book.

    Its an interesting theory. Lekin, I didnt agree with the theory. I concluded “bah, the very forces that contribute to the tail also contribute to huge (mega, giga) hits”. Its going to be a balance of forces again.

    The market is just going to be how it is. Few hits. Lots of crap. Few niche hits.

    fyi; chris anderson has given a reply for that WSJ accusation in his blog.

  • http://ipatrix.com Patrix

    Smiley, of course! it is nothing earth-shattering but the availability of choices is the single most important thing that I can point to due to the Long Tail effect. Hits will always remain but now we have something other than the ‘hits’ to indulge in. Have you read the book yet?

    Hawkeye, I am no authority on the Long Tail (will post my ‘amateur’ review later) but I’ll point to Chris Anderson’s response to Gomes’ column in the WSJ.
