Everybody has heard about the Long Tail, and everybody has an opinion. But when the opinion is on Techcrunch, you might believe it.
And this time they are telling us that the fat tail is getting better. What does that mean? Duncan Riley sums up beautifully
From a developers or startups view, the fattening long tail should be seen for what it is: a marketplace that has improved opportunities for smart startups. A bigger marketplace makes today and tomorrow an even better time to build a Web 2.0 business than yesterday. A fatter long tail means that as a whole there will be an increasing number of success stories and sustainable startups, a win-win all round.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign from God to start up, then this is it.
There’s nothing more difficult that taking the courage to start the first day. Everything starts falling in line soon enough. And believe it or not, it’s not that bad to fail.
