Viewing blogs through the media lens, only the left-hand of the side
of the power curve is visible. As Matthew Klam, the article's author
says: In a recent national survey, the Pew Internet and American Life
Project found that more than two million Americans have their own
blog. Most of them, nobody reads Thus, the tail of the power curve
— which is probably at least 5 million blogs long — gets
erased. In fact, the tail is where blog are having their most
important effects. That's where...
Tail gunning
Tail gunning
01/04/2005 02:08 AMWired editor Chris Anderson has started a good
blog to follow
up on his
Long Tail
essay and seed the ground for a book on the subject.
Cory Doctorow takes Anderson to task for his "middle-of-the-road"
stance on efforts to lock down intellectual property via increasingly
desperate and continuingly futile technical schemes for digital rights
management (DRM) -- schemes that tip the balance between
propertyholders and the public way too far.
Anderson is dead right in elucidating the way the Net economy
restores market value to works that are not big hits. The story of the
next few years will be one about whether that market in "long tail"
intellectual goods (I wrote about
its promise in October) thrives in the same open environment that
allowed the Net itself to evolve and prosper -- or shrivels under the
furious weight of technical and legal efforts to squeeze every last
dollar from every last little hair on the long tail. My money is on
the former, happier outcome. But it won't turn out that way without
persistent and stubborn resistance -- which we can thank Doctorow and
the EFF for ringleading -- to the "we control the horizontal, we
control the vertical" paternalism and anti-consumerism of the DRM
mafia.
(For a little example of what happens when rights holders hold too
many cards, check out the sad
saga of "Eyes on the Prize," the documentary that is the
"principal film account of the most important American social justice
movement of the 20th century," in a Stanford professor's words from
Wired News' account. "Eyes on the Prize" can't be publicly shown or
distributed because "the filmmakers no longer have clearance rights to
much of the archival footage used in the documentary." You want your
audiovisual history? Pay up first!)
Assuming the Long Tail isn't clipped by DRMania, we face an
ever-expanding banquet of media goods. The BBC sounds an alarm. We are
coming
face to face with the scourge of "digital
obesity":
|   |
Gadget lovers are so hungry for digital data many are carrying the
equivalent of 10 trucks full of paper in "weight". Music, images,
e-mails, and texts are being hoarded on mobiles, cameras laptops and
PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), a Toshiba study found. It found
that more than 60% kept 1,000 to 2,000 music files on their devices,
making the UK "digitally fat". |
Or maybe not. The term is a ludicrous oversimplification and
distortion; we keep all this stuff around precisely because we
can now -- because it doesn't fill trucks, it fills
infinitesimal chips and drives, and it's easier to keep everything
around than to worry about cleaning house. Carrying the stuff around?
No problem. Finding it? Harder. Finding time to absorb it all? There's
our rub.
Obesity is simply the wrong metaphor. Thi
s post by Rajat Paharia hits closer to the mark:
|   |
I'm finding that the "digital photo effect" is starting to make its
way into my music and video experiences as well. What's the DPE? My
ability to produce and acquire has far outstripped my ability to
consume. Produce from my own digital camera. Acquire from friends,
family, Flickr, etc. This has a couple of ramifications:
1. I feel behind all the time.
2. Because there is so much to consume, I don't enjoy each individual
photo as much as I did when they were physical prints. I click through
fast.
3. Because of 1 and 2, sometimes I don't even
bother. |
I first noticed this phenomenon back in the late '80s, when I
switched from buying music on vinyl to CDs, and noticed how quickly I
stopped listening to an entire 50-60 minute CD if the first track or
two didn't grab me. Of course, this kind of impatience coincided with
the speeding up of my professional life and my crossing the threshold
into my 30s. Something tells me that the problems Paharia and I and
perhaps you are facing in this realm of overload may not feel so dire
to today's teenagers and twenty-somethings, for whom this thick soup
is a native muck.
Still, the "I feel behind all the time" phenomenon is real enough,
as today's RSS addicts know -- and as indicated by the rising popularity among the
geeknoscenti of David Allen's
"Getting Things Done" methodology, with its promise of liberation
from uncomfortable behind feelings.
I'm not liberated yet. Behindness surrounds me on all sides. But
finding stuff is getting easier. I'm slowly trying to teach myself the
methodology that Doctorow has modeled for several years now: If you
want to be able to find something in the future, don't bury it in your
files -- blog about it, put it out on the Net, where Google will never
lose it, and if for some reason you can't find it, someone else will
probably have picked it up and saved it for you.
So to hell with bookmarks, and long live the blogmark. Here's a
handful:
Lexis Nexis Alacarte:
No longer the preserve of big-media newsrooms -- now in handy
personal-journalism size.
For years, I tuned my guitar with one of those little electronic
tuners in a plastic box; but when they were two, my kids decided that
it made a great toy and disembowelled it. Well, all that is solid
melts into Net: Today you don't need a physical object, all you need
is a Net connection and a browser. Just Google "guitar tuner" for a bunch of options;
I liked this
one for its retro look.

01/18/2004 11:28 PMIn the last week or so, I've developed a renewed appreciation for the
File::Tail Perl module. If you haven't guessed from the name, this
module provides a native Perl implementation of something akin to tail
-f somefile and--better yet--it can do this on multiple files at the
same time. In case you're wondering, the reason I find it so helpful
is that I've been building various tools that need to perform
real-time scanning of log files. Specifically, I'm dealing with...

The Long Tail of PayPal
The Long Tail of PayPal
03/14/2005 04:23 PMWhile setting up the
contribution mechanism at PayPal, I got to thinking about how
PayPal is (or certainly has the potential to be) a Long Tail
business. With lots of features, extensive documentation, tons of
implementation examples, and no up-front fees, they make it so easy to
sell anything to anyone worldwide that the cost of doing business
for individuals and small businesses is almost nothing. My friends
Tamara and Julie make soap in their apartment and sell it online for a few
bucks a bar, with PayPal handling the checkout process and some of the
order fulfillment stuff as well. And there are millions of little
cottage industries like this scattered across the web, businesses
enabled by PayPal each selling maybe a few items a week or month.
However, there are a couple of issues with PayPal's attempt to
harness the Long Tail of online retail. Shipping costs are
proportionally more expensive for less expensive items...it's roughly
the same price to ship a $350 iPod as it is to ship a $20 book or
tshirt. PayPal's fees are a bigger percentage of the total sale
for cheaper items as well; they take $0.30 right off the top. That
doesn't sound like a lot but for a merchant selling $3.00 items,
that's 10% less profit, which could be a bit of a deterrent in wanting
to sell cheap items through PayPal. It'll be interesting to see if
PayPal sees a Long Tail effect benefiting their bottom line and
tinkers with the fees to encourage more cheap offerings.

I'm sitting here listening to Chris Anderson
discuss the various aspects and insights he has into the 'long tail'
phenomena.
I find this stuff fascinating - not from a macro-economic POV - but
from the gut level validation of all my ideas and feelings - over the
past 25 years. It just makes sense to associate yourself with the
niche players and small entities - than bother with the big boys.
I've always felt that way.....
It's amazing to see it evolve into an entire school of thought.
So now Chris is talking ot Joe Kraus - who started Excite (and
admits why the failed at Excite) and comparing it to JotSpot - which
he calls a 'long tail' business.
I wonder how Chris considers JotSpot 'long tail'?
I think I'll ask him that question.
- self service - lowering the cost of customer
acquisition?
- end-user created apps and a marketplace for those
apps (JotSpot as a platform?)
- something about Wikis and collaboration?
FOLLOW-UP: Joe concurs that all Long Tail plays should be
platforms - and markeplaces. I totally agree! That's the model for
success in the Long Tail.

04/04/2005 01:54 PMThere have been many efforts to create "print on demand" solutions --
though, often these have been done by brick and mortar book stores
looking to come up with ways to compete with Amazon and other online
sellers. However, most of these in-store print-on-demand offerings
have never gotten very far. So, wouldn't it be amusing if the company
that actually made print-on-demand make sense was Amazon itself? The
company has now
bought
a print on demand company that will make it easier for Amazon to
sell books with less demand -- since they won't have to stock any
inventory. It's yet another sign that Amazon recognizes the
importance of
the
long tail, in that this should let them sell books even further
out on the tail, with little inventory expense to itself.

The Search for Validation
07/06/2004 06:29 PMSmart Mobs
links to an
inte
resting article on how the teenagers are using blogs. The
following two paragraphs make me raise my eyebrows in not completely
unlike Spock -manner:
What's consistent throughout is the search for validation. Though most
say they write entries for themselves, it's a disappointment if no one
responds. One Evergreen student recently posted a message pleading for
feedback. "it makes me sad that no one leaves me comments. . . .
i write like these huge entries . . . about so much stuff . . . and no
one even says anything in return. and i go to all of your xangas or
whatevers and ALWAYS leave a comment.
...
Most teens abide by an unwritten code of the blogosphere: What happens
online stays online. Many have digital friendships with classmates but
never socialize in real life "because we don't hang with the same
crowd, as one Evergreen student explained.
The first one I've heard from many people also in the Finnish
blogosphere. Feedback is what keeps many people writing, though some
are still happy just to organize their own thoughts, and don't really
care if someone reads them or not.
But combined with the second one... It's amazing how naturally the
teenagers consider online life a completely separate arena, one that
has nothing to do with the real life. It makes me actually wonder
about things like the Finnish blog awards, or the blogger meetings that are occurring
everywhere. It is strange to meet fellow bloggers, indeed: many
people write only of a single aspect of their life online, be it their
angst at being alone or their hobbies, or their day-to-day life. Very
few people pour all aspects of their life into the internet, and even
then the "compression" of the bandwidth is very lossy: you
only see some things, with the less interesting bits removed.
Many people have told me that they like to read their own blogs. I
like to do it myself, sometimes (then again, I'm not very critical at
myself :). This is not really very surprising, as it most probably is
the kind of text you like to read - and also because it makes your own
life to look more interesting. It's kinda like doing social
pornography on yourself - something that all of us do anyway. It's no
more different than looking through old photographs, or resting your
eyes on your own furniture (you chose it, so it must be pleasing).
Who are you blogging really for?
Why do I write online?
I guess there is no simple answer to that. Part of me yearns for
validation: the "Hey, I read your entry the other day and I
liked it" -moments. Part of me is narcistic: I want to be known,
scream out that my life has not been in vain. Part of it is simply
about the engineers built-in desire to change things, to have impact
on the world - nibble away at the corner of a huge statue so that it
becomes more beautiful. Part of me wants a place to store my thoughts
in some coherent order, and an important part of me just needs
to write.
But I guess the most important thing are the people. Weblogs allow me
to share things with the people I love, allow other people to discover
me and perhaps - if I'm lucky - they become friends. What I write is
only a small part of me, but it is the part I want you to see. They
are things I consider important, or things that move me. Or things
that are just silly and make me laugh.
I like bloggers. Blogging is not yet tainted by rampant
commercialism, nor big corporations saying "we want this",
or "we monetize that". Blogging is about creating something
new, be it in the form of your life, or just repeating old things but
in a new order. Bloggers have their own voice, some of them beautiful, and some of
them not so beautiful

Today, ccValidator has a new home: validator.creativecommons.
org and a handful of new features. The validator now supports
metadata specified as a seperate file with a <link

messages when it runs into problems. If you have any validation
links, don't worry: we're redirecting calls to the validator at yergler.net to it's

If people won’t go to the validator, suggests running the
validator on the client rather than on the web.
Last week I got a surprising amount of requests from NetNewsWire users
who’d like to have a validator built in to NetNewsWire. (Many of
these people are people who test and monitor their own feeds with
NetNewsWire.)
What I could do—what I’d like to do—is include
Mark’s and Sam Ruby’s validator in NetNewsWire. The
validator would stay out of the way by default, but it would be there
for people who want it.
There’s an issue, though: the validator is open source, licensed
via the Python license, and I don’t know if I can include it
with NetNewsWire. (License gurus please clarify.)
But more importantly, licensing issues aside, I wouldn’t do it
without Mark’s and Sam’s agreement.
(In case you’re wondering about the technical details: the
validator would be included unmodified, as a set of files on disk, but
inside the app package, in Contents/Resources/).

This will require some work, none of it hard. Prereqs are
Python 2.x and
pyxml. There
currently are three interfaces: a CGI/web interface, a command
line, and a web interface.
- The CGI/web interface contains a number of absolute paths and
direct references to the host. However, this is probably the
best place to start.
- The command line interface is designed primarily for
development use. However, something like this that returns
back a simple return code might be useful for your
optional
indicator.

would have quite different performance characteristics.

to do it.
