Chris Anderson

T2JournalistsTechnology and the internet economy

Spent seven years at The Economist, then edited Wired from 2001 to 2012; expanded his 2004 article 'The Long Tail' into a 2006 book.

3D RoboticsWired

The Long Tail set out how cheap distribution and good search move demand away from a few hits toward a very large catalogue of niche titles, and Free traced what happens to pricing when marginal cost falls to near zero. Both arguments sit underneath how operators and investors size demand in aggregator, marketplace and freemium businesses.
