The Long Tail

Chris Anderson writes "I'm the editor of Wired Magazine and if you'll forgive the autohornblowing, I think you'll be interested in my piece in our latest issue. It argues, with a lot of new data, that the entertainment industry is shifting from an era of hit-driven economics to one of niche-driven economics. Content that was once relegated to the fringe, beneath the threshold of commercial viability, is now increasingly able to find a market in distributed audiences, marking a shift towards the previously-neglected Long Tail of the demand curve."

Thank you for advertising Wired on Slashdot.

By the way, your magazine fucking SUCKS. Always has.

In fact, my friends and I use "Wired" as a kind of measure of quality. As in-

"Man, that chick is really ugly. I wouldn't fuck her with a stolen dick"

"Yeah, but she's still better than an issue of 'Wired'"

"I concur"
