The Long Tail. Chris Anderson. 2006. ISBN 1401302378. Editor of Wired,
\nAnderson wrote the seminal article The Long Tail a few years ago.
\nIt sparked an immediate response, as has this book ( even more so pro
\nand con). The original article forms the bulk of Chaps 1 and 8. It is
\nworth the read as the discovery of this powerlaw is important to many
\nvisions of the future. It also has ties into the Web 2.0 all power of
\ncontent to the visitors model. You should not ignore this work. He is a
\njournalist, so the book is an easy read and quite compelling. He “wrote”
\nthe book in stages through his blog, so that is also following the most
\nrecent trend in publishing.
