Ashley Dupree turned into a media target, in 36 hours, and AmieStreet.com immediately started selling her tracks. In the tradition of making hay while the sun shines, Ash uploaded a new single, Move Ya Body and compiled an album, “Unspoken Words“, both offered on AmieStreet.com. Look at the world we live in; social media marketing. […]

Continuing, briefly with the idea of chokepoints and the economics of abundance: Broadcasting — radio and television — offers us a perfect example of how much bigger the economics of abundance is than mere data processing. Broadcast outlets, at their beginning, were both natural and man-made chokepoints: There were a limited number of available frequencies, […]
It’s a year to the day since BloodhoundBlog became a group blog. Coincidentally, I was talking to Brian Brady today about our long tail, why the accumulated effort of a weblog is a leveraged asset: The most recent content will be the most popular today, but older content will attract greater and lesser attention in […]
How long is The Long Tail? Long enough, even, for Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet, ten long years after its theatrical release. I despair for the state of staged drama, and not just in the chip-on-its-shoulder burgs, but this, in Horace’s phrasing, is “a monument more lasting than bronze.” The news: Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet is to be […]

Chris Anderson at the Long Tail weblog on how switching from film to digital media changes movie acting and directing: “I think shooting in digital changes acting as much as film changed stage acting, or as sound changed film,” said Bill. Why? Because film costs a lot and must be used sparingly, while digital tape […]
Joseph Ferrara at sellsius&176; blog asks once and then again and then a third time here: How much does The Long Tailweigh? Chris Anderson, the author of the book, has some answers, but they vary from industry to industry. But from my own point of view in real estate, The Long Tail is a very […]
The soul of wit, Seth Godin cites The Long Tailtoday. We’ve mentioned this book a time or two, and, of course, it’s featured (along with Seth’s latest)in our reading list. I have plans to say more about it, but I haven’t gotten to it yet. Suffice it to say, this is a book that everyone […]
Here’s a true fact of BloodhoundBlog life: Trulia.com can be a redheaded stepchild around here. We’re always happy to pounce on Redfin.com or to pontificate about Zillow.com, but Trulia most often gets short shrift. It mainly comes across like Realtor.com’s younger, smarter, cheaper brother — and no one with a stock-option plan needs to write […]
Comes tonight an email — over the transom, out of the blue — from a family relocating to Phoenix. Here’s a piece of it: Somehow, I stumbled on to your website (looking at an old commentary on 1415 E Flower) and googling deeply. I am grateful that I did, because it seems that you focus […]
This is my response to a comment that Jennifer Castillo left on my post about the benefits of blogging about real estate listings you would like to sell. Jennifer said: My questions to you arise from this quote of yours, “For each house you preview, build an engenu page. That way you can show all […]
I found myself this morning checking out our blog traffic stats. I don’t know why I do this exactly – It’s idle curiosity, I suppose. I’ll know when my blog hits the big time. That will be the day when I am so busy meeting with clients and closing escrows that I won’t have time […]
If Groucho Marx were to come back to us as a hen, aghast but still sardonic, what would he (she?) do? Peck around in the dirt, no doubt. Comes next a “stealth” start-up called roost.com, which promises “to fundamentally change how customers find & move into their next home.” When words mean almost anything they […]
I’ve written a lot about radio here, to the extent that you might get the idea that I really like radio. I do, and I think this might apply to a lot of people who habitually work very long hours. One of my very favorite radio movies is Pump Up The Volume. It’s actually a […]
This past week, Noah’s Ark Pet Adoptions, a no-kill animal “shelter” and adoption organization, was featured in the Northwest Valley Republic. The picture to the right is from the article. If you click on it, the full article will display. I’m always looking for ways to support this fine organization, by fostering unwanted pets who […]
