"On the Net, the bell curve reclaims its tails. The uncommon is as accessible as the common," I wrote in this 1999 Forbes ASAP column. Last October, Wired editor Chris Anderson published a great article called "The Long Tail" looking at what has in fact happened as this vision has turned into reality--and what may happen as that reality expands. He now has a book contract and a blog to refine and expand on his ideas.
