The Long Tail: White the Future of Business Is Selling Less of More
 
Chris Anderson, editor of Wired magazine, write about an economic trend known as "the long tail" -- a term that he coined.

This effect is refers to the tail end of the demand curve that is populated by not the "major hits" or "major player", but the "niches"..
