 The Long Tail: What is the Long Tail?
A) The Long Tail is the infinite shelf-space effect--the new mass market of niches that rises when the existing bottlenecks in distribution that favor hits are removed.
The long tail is that part of the economy that has always existed and has suddenly been "discovered" by a media that has been myopically focussed on the other end of the "tail".
The long tail is the market sector that appears when a retailer uses new technology to simultaneously increase both the product selection and the potential customer base by an order of magnitude or more.

 The Long Tail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Long Tail" by Chris Anderson, Wired, Oct. 2004
Before a Long Tail works, the only products on offer may be the most popular, but when the costs of inventory storage and distribution fall, then a wide range of products becomes available; that can, in turn, have the effect of reducing demand for the most popular products.
The phrase The Long Tail (as a proper noun with capitalized letters) was first coined by Chris Anderson in a 2004 article in Wired magazine [1] to describe certain business and economic models such as Amazon.com or Netflix.

 Long-billed Curlew
Prior to legal protection in early 1900s, Long-billed Curlews were decimated by hunters in eastern North America, and were eliminated from many parts of their range by expansion of agriculture on the plains and prairies in the 1930s.
Curlews probe deep with their bills into burrows of insects and other small creatures; they also pick small invertebrates from the soil and vegetation.
Curlews appear sporadically on the south coast during migration, but most reach the coast only on the wintering grounds in California and Mexico.

Reproduction: The breeding season of the long-tailed weasel is variable.
The long-tailed weasel prefers habitats with abundant prey, such as those areas where dens of burrowing rodents are numerous and close to cover and areas supporting large populations of small mammals and birds (Polderboer et al.
Population densities of long-tailed weasels are difficult to census because of their low densities and distribution related to habitat characteristics and prey densities.

The common, or long-tailed, weasel (Mustela frenata) is a slender animal with a body length of up to 12 inches (30 centimeters).

Thus, though many of the species in the weasel family that are sought for their fur are trapped in the wild, mink farms (also called ranches) and sable farms supply a high proportion of today's furs.
