[Neasis-l] NEASIST Book Club night: Long Tail

[Remlee Green]

It’s a big week for NEASIST
  2 events in one week!  We also have book club
night at Cambridge Brewing Company on Friday at 5:30.  

Join us for our summer installment of the NEASIS&T Book Club Night!  We will
be discussing the insightful, and exciting, book The Long Tail by Wired
editor Chris Anderson.  Anderson examines the phenomenon where “our culture
and economy are increasingly shifting away from mainstream products and
markets at the head of the demand curve toward a huge number of niches in
the tail
 As costs of production and distribution fall, especially online,
narrowly targeting goods and services can be as economically attractive as
mainstream fare.” (WorldCat summary).

Cheers,
Remlee
