:: Another Interesting Look at The Long Tail

05/23/2006
Something interesting happened, however, at about the point of the graph inhabited by songs that were being listened to 500 times a month on Rhapsody's Online Music Service. The curve leveled out -- and it kept going, and kept going, and kept going -- producing a long tail. The sales of most of the songs playing fewer than 500 times generated revenues to small to justify their stocking in most stores.

:: Google Class Action Lawsuit

05/22/2006
A class action lawsuit has been filed upon the behalf of Google Adwords advertisers. The suit filers claim according to an independent study that for every $ 1000 in ads, $ 400 is fraudlent.

Meanwhile, independent studies assert that anywhere from $100 to $400 of every $1,000 stems from click fraud. If those estimates prove correct, Google might be on the hook for $1 billion to $5 billion in advertising refunds.

:: What is Fair Use

05/16/2006
As the Internet matures, users and governments are struggling to manage controversial issues. Lets face it, the Internet did not exist when the US copyright laws were written;let us not forget, while many countries respect copyright laws, the Internet is global without a governing body. There are not only different laws, rules and regulations, but also jurisdiction issues. RSS didn't exist when copyright laws were written either. While ardent supporters feel any content in a feed can be syndicated, other equally fervernet publishers contend that original works are just that--original works, and in many countries protected by copyright laws.

:: SPAM Blogs Do They Matter?

05/15/2006
A great article addresses the question:

If spam blogs exist, but nobody sees them, then do they matter?

The question may sound slightly absurd since there are millions of splogs, fake web blog sites consisting of stolen or nonsensical designed solely to drive up traffic numbers of disreputable sites, doing their best to grab attention on the Web. Blog search engine companies don't deny that, but argue that what's most important is keeping them out of search results.

:: What is the Long Tail?

05/05/2006
The phrase "The Long Tail" was first used in 2004 by Chris Anderson a writer for Wired Magazine. Anderson used the phrase to describe business models. The article initially referencing The Long Tail referred to the fact that a small handful of blogs have a large number of links pointing to them, while millions of smaller blogs have only a handful of links. Chris Anderson described the effects of the long tail on business models and argued that products that are in a low demand can effectively and collectively make up a market share that exceeds the few of those that are in high demand.
