If you don’t know what the long tail is it would be good to read this book. The book written by @chr1sa outlines several important things but has a tremendous impact on Google’s search. ~1/3rd of searches on Google are terms that had never been seen before.

I posted about the impact social media could have on architecture a year ago and have recently been thinking about how our post-PC devices, impact our in-home behavior.
