By golly I think I got it

So I think I finally understand this whole Long Tail thing and how it fits into every thing like with blogging there are a few big blogs and an infinite number of small blogs and what not. It did seem to take me a really long time to grasp what seems to be no more than a logical point and I do for sure feel a bit stupid for it. It seems to me to be a tool to show us that we can find that particular "thing" we are looking for by moving away from the common over used channels and following the path of the minority.





So basically blog can be what ever you want it to be form a simple online diary of sorts to a well thought out and expertly laid out form of communication. I really think I may actually like this in the end.

  2. I also had a very hard time with the long tail.
    Once you view it a couple of times it begins to make since.
    You expressed it great with your statement "It seems to me to be a tool to show us that we can find that particular "thing" we are looking for by moving away from the common over used channels and following the path of the minority"
