In the industry that i am in, conversations around commoditization of content have of course been prevalent over the last few years and the long tail theory is definite of interest as we look at our long term product and services strategy. <BR/><BR/>I will give you an example- for over 5 years i have worked with clients implementing web services to integrate external content into users workflow. If I look back a few years ago only our biggest clients were using those technologies-today it is assessable to everyone and not really as cost prohibited. With RSS delivery however-it wasn't the big guys that adopted it first- it was the individual user/consumer along with the smaller mid-tier customer base. The 'niche' market in RSS readers/aggregators allowed this delivery mechanism- we are going along for the ride.<BR/><BR/>I agree it is just the start- isn't it exciting!<BR/><BR/>Note: If you are reading these comments and do not know of the Long Tail-Wikipedia does a good job explaining and linking to references here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Tail<BR/><BR/>PLEASE NOTE:<BR/>>>>>>The opinions expressed are my own and do not necessarily represent those of my employer.daniela barbosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017233266605018199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9783047.post-1145623839911128952006-04-21T05:50:00.000-07:002006-04-21T05:50:00.000-07:00Are you familiar with the 'long tail' concept?

It and Seth Godin's 'Small is the new big' will really help to put this podcast growth in perspective.<BR/><BR/>This is just the start, expect more and more consumer created text, audio, and video creation to ramp up over the next few years.Jeremiah Owyanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100052060322851519noreply@blogger.com
