Sept 27, 2007, I sent Chris Anderson an email politely telling him that the Long Tail really sucked from a producer’s point of view. Consumers benefit but producers starve real fast. All Chris did was give the starvation process a better name. URL below points to the blog entry he made on his blog containing my letter.

I think he is a good guy. He found something he could get traction with and ran with it. Who among us would do anything differently?
