Following The Long Tail
The hot best seller, "The Long Tail," is causing a sensation with its claims about how the Internet is rewriting the old rules of commerce, especially when it comes to digital music sales. The book’s Chris Anderson joins guest host Anthony DeCurtis to discuss his blockbuster ideas and address his critics. Also: a live performance by songwriter Vienna Teng. She worked as a software engineer at Cisco for two years before she decided to quit and pursue her dream as a singer-songwriter. She explains why she traded in one keyboard for another.
The Truth Behind The Long Tail
Chris Anderson's theory of The Long Tail attempts to explain how business strategies have changed with the explosion of internet retail. But music industry analyst Barry Sosnick argues that it's just another catchy business phrase. They join us to debate the theory.
From Cisco Systems to Songwriting
Vienna Teng explains how she moved from Silicon Valley to the singer-songwriter circuit. She'll perform live in the studio.
