“I am the Long Tail”

In a story today about the IAB’s preparations to erect defenses against the regulatory advance of government, MediaPost featured a link to the IAB video, “I am the Long Tail” that was released at its annual meeting in Orlando three weeks ago. The video (below) is a poignant look at just a few of the people and personalities responsible for weaving together the fabric of the Internet. Without them, no Google and no Yahoo! Without them, AOL might have remained a walled-garden with millions of subscribers.
There were probably 600 people at this years IAB Annual Meeting. We relish the idea that someday there will be thousands, such the ones in the video. Think of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, or the Javits Center in New York as appropriate meeting venues. It’s a good image to conjur with legislators. And with advertisers.
