Erasing the tail
09/26/2004 09:23 AMThe NY Times Magazine article on blogs makes the same old error.
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...

pull a blog entry out of the...void.
Click "Next Item" to get another one. They come from blogs all
around the world, and are presented with no context or other
information (there is a link if you want to actually visit the site
the entry came from).
Only about half of the entries I looked at were in English. All of
them were posted in the last two minutes.
I can't figure out why this was so addictive. It's like little
snippets of communication from anywhere and everywhere.

Chris updates some figures from his original article where he
had written that "57% of Amazon's book sales are of books not
available in stores". He writes in an update, "I've now spoken to Jeff
Bezos (and others) about this. He doesn't have a hard figure for the
percentage of sales of products not available offline, but reckons
that it's closer to 25-30%. That would put it in line with Netflix's
and Rhapsody's figures." There is an interesting discussion going on
in the comments as well.

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.

File::Tail is damned useful
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...

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.

Amazon Stretches The Long Tail Even
Longer
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.
