26、nguage Points,1. That concept, famously dubbed the “Long Tail” by Wired editor Chris Anderson, also changes the entire economic model of entertainment, creating hugely successful niche products over longer periods of time.,The Long Tail:,根据维基百科,长尾(The Long Tail)这一概念是由“连线”杂志主编Chris Anderson在2004年十月的“

27、长尾” 一文中最早提出,用来描述诸如亚马逊和Netflix之类网站的商业和经济模式。 “长尾”实际上是统计学中Power Laws和帕累托(Pareto)分布特征的一个口语化表达。 举例来说,我们常用的汉字实际上不多,但因出现频次高,所以这些为数不多的汉字占据了上图广大的红区;绝大部分的汉字难得一用,它们就属于那长长的黄尾。,Chris认为,只要存储和流通的渠道足够大,需求不旺或销量不佳的产品共同占据的市场份额就可以和那些数量不多的热卖品所占据的市场份额相匹敌甚至更大。,Definition of the Long Tail,“长尾”至今尚无正式定义,Chris Anderson 认为,最理想

28、的长尾定义应解释“长尾理论”的三个关键组成部分: 热卖品向niches的转变 富足经济( the economics of abundance ) 许许多多小市场聚合成一个大市场,成功的“长尾”案例:,1、 Google是一个最典型的“长尾”公司,其成长历程就是把广告商和出版商的“长尾”商业化的过程。 数以百万计的小企业和个人,此前他们从未打过广告,或从没大规模地打过广告。他们小得让广告商不屑,甚至连他们自己都不曾想过可以打广告。,但Google的AdSense把广告这一门槛降下来了:广告不再高不可攀,它是自助的,价廉的,谁都可以做的;另一方面,对成千上万的Blog站点和小规模的商业网站来说,

29、在自己的站点放上广告已成举手之劳。 Google目前有一半的生意来自这些小网站而不是搜索结果中放置的广告。数以百万计的中小企业代表了一个巨大的长尾广告市场。这条长尾能有多长,恐怕谁也无法预知。,2、亚马逊: 一个前亚马逊公司员工精辟地概述了公司的“长尾”本质:现在我们所卖的那些过去根本卖不动的书比我们现在所卖的那些过去可以卖得动的书多得多。 此外还有很多,诸如维基百科、Netflix等等。,2. Instead, the community of users are themselves so involved and diligent that spam or misinformation

30、tends to come down as quickly as it goes up. 划线部分应理解为“垃圾信息和误传将会来去匆匆”。,3. Wikipedia is a nonprofit, but some venture capitalists say that the advertising potential of the site could make it a billion-dollar business (community members have thus far bucked any movement in that direction). 划线单词应理解为“坚决抵

31、抗”,4. As the worlds of media, technology and telecommunications collide, there will undoubtedly be more and more interesting new pairings (witness eBays rumored bid for Internet phone provider Skype). 划线单词应理解为“搭配”,即公司之间的兼并,收购。,. Even as DVDs have put cinematic revenues into free fall, theaters are a

32、lready reinventing themselves as destination attractions with gourmet menus and child care. 但机使电影院收入急剧下降,剧院现在已经在用美食和儿童看护中心把自己重新定位成有吸引力的娱乐目的地。,Dance clip by Garth Fagan viewing,See later when technology allows.,Assignments,Review this unit and get ready for the forthcoming quiz scheduled for next class Collect additional information about the topics of Unit Six.,Thank you!,
