Day of the Long Tail Movie

The Long Tail book has now been spoofed as a short YouTube online video.

Mickeleh’s Take blog has an excellent recap of the movie spoof.

Which gave Peter the idea of treating it all as a trailer to a horror picture.

I did not really see that much in the video that related to Chris Anderson’s book, but that’s just me.

Not just you. Chris Anderson told us the same thing when he saw it. Then he asked for a copy, which he uses in his presentations. I agree with both of you: there’s very little in the video that relates to the Long Tail. We just liked the title.
