The Long Tail

   I recently googled "The Long Tail" and I came upon a blog devoted towards The Long Tail Book. The blog was created a few years ago and it was updated over a period of time in which the blog was updated by Chris Anderson himself.
   The blog contains information pertaining to the Long Tail and other news that correlates with the subject. The blog also incorporates promos on his articles and books which are in bookstores or through sites that have Kindle products. In his more recent posts, he talks about his new book "Free" and where and how to get it for free. I will discuss more on the book "Free" in a later blog post.
   Although the site has not been updated in the last 2 years (last post was on December 11, 2009), it still holds valuable information on the long tail and how companies have learned from it. If you scroll back, we can see the early stages of these successful companies and how Chris Anderson has dissected them. Such companies include Netflix, iTunes, and other various sites. Much of the information gathered through the blog posts are still used in everyday business. It's great to see how these business became as successful as they are today!
