Chris Anderson is at it again, this time talking about Google and the "Long Tail of Time". His observation is correct: unlike a newspaper, Google tends to favour archive heavy searches. Syntagma oberves that this is a side effect of how blogs automatically file things by date.
Some markets are hit driven, but it seems as if Long Tail markets wouldn’t be. Far be it from me to correct the inventor of the Long Tail concept, but isn’t the lack of time sensitivity simply one of many features of Long Tail markets?
BTW, the most popular "old" posting on this blog? Yup, you guessed it right! From February 11, 2006: The Voice Long Tail.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry maker Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
