The Long Tail - continued

Those of you who followed the "long tail" link in my post about the Weblog Awards were rewarded with Chris Anderson's Wired article that talks about the new economics of being able to access the vast majority of content, etc., in the long tail of the demand curve. You know, the books at Amazon.com but not at your local store, the movies on Netflix but not at the local Blockbuster, the Web sites that have just what you're looking for but aren't on the first page of Google.

Chris has now created thelongtail.com, a blog to track manifestations of the "long tail" effect. Oh, and is it just me, or does the long tail in Chris's illustration resemble a banana slug?
