Doc's right.  People that buy or sell on the long tail shouldn't be considered consumers.  To prove a point, the long tail members I describe aren't passive, rather, they are in the driver's seat of the new distribution.  States and their passive consumers (of political goods) are the ones at risk.

Popular Science magazine gives us the following five things You Didn’t Know You Could Do with RSS:

1. “Package Deliveries
2. Library Books
   “ Avoid late fees and fruitless trips to the library with ELF (libraryelf.com), which generates a feed to inform you when books you've requested are available at your local branch (including a link to operating hours) and when your checked-out books are almost due.”
3. Local Weather
4. TV Listings
5. Yourself” [via del.icio.us/merlinmann/ 43folders]

I love the ELF and even subscribe to the service myself, but how does it make your privacy-loving, patron-protecting, librarian self feel that a company in Canada is providing this service that gets highlighted in PopSci instead of you?

Niche Publishing - Engadget

Niche Publishing - Engadget 03/06/2004 01:59 AM

Niche publishing really isn't just for Nick Denton anymore... Peter Rojas, the original blogger behind Gizmodo has broken out of that gig to start Engadget... a competitor to Gizmodo.

Denton still has a leg up (first mover advantage we used to call it) on individuals launching one or two focused sites on their own, as he can aggregate his entire Gawker media property audiences if he wants to for an advertiser, or he can sell the advertising piecemeal... but, folks like Rojas can probably make enough money off their sites short-term to support themselves, and long term to build a living that they enjoy.

Best of luck Peter...

Rescuing XSLT from Niche Status

Rescuing XSLT from Niche Status 10/30/2002 12:50 AM
XSLT is one of the most exciting technologies to come out of the XML family. Unfortunately, its incredible power and associated complexity can be overwhelming to new users preventing many from experimenting with it or causing them to quickly give up in disgust. In fact, unless the method of teaching and the common style of use for XSLT is radically changed to make it more accessible, XSLT will be relegated to niche status like SGML and other powerful technologies. -- David Jacobs

There's a niche in the blogging/media ecosystem I hope someone fills. Aggregators are wonderful, but I find using them makes me as lonely as a night watchman making his rounds. So, between the solipsism of aggregators and the impersonalism of mainstream newspapers, I'd like a site where my friends and I can read stuff together. We suggest blogs and sites, and the aggregator surfaces the hot posts based on clever metrics and heuristics (mumble mumble handwaving). And we get to comment and annotate for one another. That last point is important because I find that I often don't leave comments...

Interesting Take on Voice Over WLAN

Interesting Take on Voice Over WLAN 02/19/2004 12:43 PM
Radioframe is touting its indoor GSM system as better than voice over WLAN: Radioframe sells a platform that extends cellular coverage inside an office building and connects to the office PBX so companies can use their cell phones inside the building. When users are in the building, minutes are cheaper than outside on the wide area cell network. The company's CEO argues that even though usage of the WLAN in the building doesn't cost, the handsets are so much more expensive than cell phones that it makes more sense to use a system like Radioframe's. I did a story a while back on voice over WLAN and found that the handsets cost around the same as standard wired office phones. So the difference could come down to a decision about whether a cell phone offers the same features and functionalities that workers typically want on their phones in the office. Plus, the Radioframe CEO didn't discuss how the costs of deploying and maintaining its network compares to deploying and maintaining a standard WLAN....

More Voice Over WLAN Deals

More Voice Over WLAN Deals 03/06/2004 01:49 AM
Alcatel and Nortel are both promoting voice over WLAN systems by reselling WLAN equipment from Airespace and handsets from SpectraLink: Cisco started selling voice over WLAN handsets last year and ironically it appears that move is actually good news for SpectraLink, which has been making such phones for many years. That's because Cisco competitors like Alcatel and Nortel need to sell voice over WLAN systems to customers but certainly won't sell Cisco phones. Instead they'll use SpectraLink's. This story included some interesting figures form Forrester Research about WLANs. The study found that 20 percent of companies have or are in the process of building WLANs. About 15 percent of companies said they had completed or were in the process of rolling out voice over IP systems, but the story doesn't distinguish if that refers to voice over WLANs or voice on regular wired phones. I suspect that the companies that have deployed voice over WLANs are concentrated in certain market segments like factories or warehouses. It's likely that there are few companies in standard offices using voice over WLAN as the benefits are less clear and because building a WLAN to support voice is a more challenging proposition than constructing a WLAN just for data....

Big WLAN on Campus

Big WLAN on Campus 01/06/2005 03:14 PM
Colleges are the bleeding edge of WLAN technology: I wrote this piece for Mobile Pipeline (my first for them) which started out as a more general best practices article for giant WLANs, and morphed into an article about college WLANs. Why? As I explain in the story, giant WLAN enterprises don't want to talk on or off the record about what they're doing. Academic institutions are happy to oblige. Schools also have the disadvantage of having to support many, many generations of equipment and operating systems. You can't tell a professor to take a flying leap, and some schools may still have five-year-old laptops and desktops that still have to be integrated. It's clear that 802.1X is the next big trend for both schools and enterprises. It solves many problems while adding tremendous policy flexibility. Using 802.1X and L2TP means that you can have smaller VLANs that are segregated by policy, group, or even randomly to balance users among VLANs....

The new iPass Wireless LAN Roaming service will let that company's IT department configure the client to connect to the local wireless LAN, too. In its first release, the software allows firm-wide support for a network name (SSID) and WEP key; this version is expected next quarter. WEP keys can be changed remotely by an IT manager. A later release will handle WPA and directly allow 802.1X authentication of users to iPass's system, which allows dynamic WEP or WPA keys to be assigned. In a briefing, iPass said that this extension to their service is in direct response to customer requests that would allow a single package with a single graphical interface and login to manage the entire wireless experience. iPass will offer this service as with its current offerings, direct to large firms and through resellers to other companies....

This is a pretty classic company development: customers certainly told them about the gaps in the line-up from all vendors, and ReefEdge moved to fill them. I hear from small offices all the time looking for devices that have enterprise-scale features but without the enterprise-scale price tag because their per-user cost would be 10 or 20 times the enterprise's due to a lack of economy of scale....
