Will the long tail hold up in the future? Ralph Simon is a host of a show called Future Talks series on the Media Conversations channel. Ralph discussed the future of the long tail with Glen Hiemstra and Gerd Leonhard on a episode ironically called The Future of the Long Tail . After a short ten minutes of deliberation there wasn't a decision if there the long tail would survive but will change. Here are some of the theories of what will happen to the long tail in the future.
+ Expansion of whole planet will cause the long tail to not get longer but fatter
+ Long Tail companies
+ Pieces of the "tail" will separate into other realms/ forms
That video helps explain the long tail pretty nicely. Nice post!
