Steve Gillmour Talking about the Long Tail

So here is Steve Gillmour on The Long Tail in video (thank you Eric Rice).  If your selling or distributing media on the Internet you'll want to be sure you understand the Long Tail concept. The more I listen to it the more excited I get about a number of new business growth opportunities on the Internet. It's all a matter of how you look at things.

Steve mention something at the end called Attention.xml. If you have a technical orientation you might want to learn more about it at http://developers.technorati.com/wiki/attentionxml 

if you'd like a more general background on what Attention XML is and how it might impact you I suggest listing to this audio with Steve Gillmour and Dave Winer at IT Conversations:

I borrowed this short description for the show notes at IT Conversations

"So what is it? It's a specification for tracking, prioritizing and sharing what people are reading, looking at or listenting to in RSS and elsewhere. Tantek explains the problem, Dave compares it to Google, and Dana puts it into perspective."
