What?? You’re not watching PBS all day?
Charlie Rose and Chris Anderson sat down and talked pretty much about everything going on with the web. Pretty fascinating type-stuff. (22 mins long but the audio is as good as the video… it’s a black backdrop for pete’s sake.)

I just got finished reading Chris Anderson’s book Long Tail so I’ll give you a review and a reaction.
1. The Review: Good. Read it.
2. The Reaction: The exceptions have become the rule of online business but I think that you can also apply this same philosophy to life.

I can search for music by artist, by album, by genre, by related artists….
Why not date? What about searching for a song released on your birthday? See all rock songs released in 1969.
How important is the minutia to your customers?

A little while ago, I talked about how NPR was running a registration drive and part of their promise to listeners was to not deliver about Lohan, Spears, or any of that other gossip-style news. (Read article here.)
Today, on Super Tuesday, NPR promised to stay away from election coverage and wait until all the results were in before making any calls about any races.
Just because you can give a zillion opinions about everything and anything, sometimes it is better to hold back a little bit. The long-tail is not universal.
