Left one on the Table
Sometimes I go through "the Feeder" and I miss a few nuggets....Well, here' s a good one on the fall of mass culture....
***Yes, how did I miss this one from a week ago?..."The Long Tail" has a good one for you. Click here about the fall of mass culture...After reading it, I asked myself, who would have ever thought the 'water cooler' discussion would have ever curtailed?
Yet, when you think about your workplace and how much the discussions have changed. Games are the only one 'cooler' discussions left really, and with DVRs, that's changing as well. I mean think about it...How many times do you hear "I have it taped, and I'm going to watch it tonight"...A lot.
What I like is that "The Long Tail" is taking into consideration that people are consuming the same content a la "watching the same shows but on different nights". From the post, it seems as if people's viewing patterns are so way off that the mass "cooler" discussion reallly has faded away. It seems that we know about the content surrounding a subject but yet we relate to the content so differently that we're not sharing the same experiences...It's wild.
I liked this post a lot...It's all about the 'tribes', and the facts are there. This a good quote for you. "We are turning from a mass market into a niche nation." My question for everyone now is, what happens when you have a mass amount of niches?
