The Long Tail: a dubious theory of everything

A link published by James Bennett on July 21, 2006. Tagged with book, criticism and long-tail. No comments posted.

He writes that “there are now Long Tail markets practically everywhere you look,” calling offshoring the “Long Tail of labor,” and online universities “the Long Tail of education.” He quotes approvingly an analysis that claims, improbably, that there’s a “Long Tail of national security” in which al-Qaida is a “supercharged niche supplier.” At times, the Long Tail becomes the proverbial theory hammer looking for nails to pound.

I’m safe from terrorists because I have a big belly.

Yeah, I’m pimping the big belly.
