Seth Godin: Star Fish v Long Tail

Postby David Hurley » Thu Nov 10, 2011 7:31 am

An outstandingly gnomic blog by Seth Godin.

Long tail businesses excel at selling anything, but they're not so good at selling one thing.

Which is fine, unless you're a starfish.

Thanks for sharing, David. I always enjoy the interest it brings me when I read these types of things. Things that make you think to consider other possibilities, no matter how obvious they may seem.

Cheers,
Emma
