http://www.thelongtail.com/about.html
The theory of the Long Tail is that our culture and economy is increasingly shifting
away from a focus on a relatively small number of "hits" (mainstream products and
markets) at the head of the demand curve and toward a huge number of niches in
the tail. As the costs of production and distribution fall, especially online, there is now
less need to lump products and consumers into one-size-fits-all containers. In an era
without the constraints of physical shelf space and other bottlenecks of distribution,
narrowly-target goods and services can be as economically attractive as mainstream
fare.

http://www.channel101.com/
For the creatives that participate, Channel 101 is where the rubber meets the road.
The deadlines are unreasonable, the time limit is impossible, the pay is non existent
and the judgment is blunt. The amount of ego and sense of entitlement with which
you enter is exactly proportional to the amount of pain you'll experience before you
leave. Channel 101 is where you learn three things: How to fail, how to succeed, and
finally, how there is no difference between the two. After all, the only thing as bad as
being told your pilot failed is being told that your third episode was worse than your
second. And the only thing as good as having the number one show is having a
chance to come back with something new. In the mean time, you become harder,
faster and fearless. You surrender to the audience as life-giving God and acquire
total creative freedom through that surrender. You make connections with fellow
creatives, you have something to look forward to all the time and for a few shining
moments here and there, you're in the zone and your life takes on a little meaning.

enough for proprietary networks.
