Amazon link: The Long Tail
The long tail concept has three main implications for companies that want to access and leverage the long tail for their customers:
- Lengthen the tail
- By giving people access to a large pool of individuals, social networking lengthens the tail of potential contacts.
- Fatten the tail
- By increasing the frequency of interaction the tail can be fattened.
- Drive demand down the tail
- This can be achieved by shifting users attention to content that is normally difficult to find. Amazon did this with their recommendation mechanism.{"Author":"Chris Anderson","Title":"The Long Tail","ReadingCompleted":true}
