Wednesday links and questions

Here are links to the reading/viewing for Wednesday

The Long Tail
Quarterlife
I like to watch

Also please watch an episode here.

I challenge you to find better WebTV (not a huge challenge). The ones mentioned in the Salon piece are a good place to start.

Longtail

What does Anderson mean when he says "For too long we've been suffering from the tyranny of the lowest-common-denominator?"

What are the limitations the physical world imposed on our entertainment?

What are hit driven economics?

What's a "power law" curve?

What are the new rules of the entertainment economy?

What are the cultural benefits of all of this?

Web TV

What are the benefits to creators of Web TV?

What do you think of Quarterlife? How is it an example of convergence?

What are some other Web shows you like or dislike?
