Long Tail 101

A good definition of the Long Tail ...

"The theory of the Long Tail is that our culture and economy is increasingly shifting away from a focus on a relatively small number of "hits" (mainstream products and markets) at the head of the demand curve and toward a huge number of niches in the tail. As the costs of production and distribution fall, especially online, there is now less need to lump products and consumers into one-size-fits-all containers. In an era without the constraints of physical shelf space and other bottlenecks of distribution, narrowly-target goods and services can be as economically attractive as mainstream fare."   continued ...   (Via The Long Tail)

The Long Tail - User Interface Design, Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Ergonomics

Simple definition.
