Sandhill Trek: A Public Space Frank quotes Betsy quoting me at Bloggercon. Here's what I was trying to say:

The net extends the range of the power law distribution.

If you look at relative popularity on the web, using something like Technorati, you get a power law curve that goes all the way down smoothly, to the bottom where you see pages that got just a single link.

If you look at popularity in the publishing world - movies, chart music or books - the curve starts out with a power law, but soon drops like a stone.

That's because in order to get a movie made, a recording contract or a book published, you have to convince somebody that you're going to sell a million tickets, a hundred thousand CDs or tens of thousands of books.

You end up in a zero-sum game, where people pour enormous resources into being number one, because number two is only half as good. The promise of the net is that the power of all those little links can outweigh the power of the top ten.



Tim Oren is saying much the same thing, with a different metaphor.



Update:

Hear my original comment. It starts about 59 minutes into this stream.

The BBC iCan initiative is designed to help you campaign for things you want.

I want the BBC to release radio programs as MP3's instead of streams, so I can listen to them without a computer with a live net connection.



Speech radio programs don't go with using a computer to read and type.

All of Amazon's important innovations - starting from the concept of a Web bookstore - have suggested a profound change in the bookselling business, a change that makes it possible to earn a profit by selling a much wider variety of books than any previous retailer, including many titles from the so-called long tail of the popularity curve. 'If I have 100,000 books that sell one copy every other year,' says Steve Kessel, an Amazon VP, 'then in 10 years I've sold more of these, together, than I have of the latest Harry Potter.'



So digitise and index all books - brilliant.

Apparently QuickTime 6.4 broke the playback of edited streams I relied upon to parody Jobs in the post below - now I get timeouts and 'waiting for media' countdowns.



Sorry about that.

At the iTunes Music launch, Jobs said something very wrong - that record labels should be the arbiters of taste - that they edit for our own good, and that unsigned bands need not apply.



The key point of digital media is that we can all edit, so I edited him:







If that fails due to bandwidth Click here



NB - QuickTime 6.4 broke this. See above.
