Similarity: For example, with the publication of a successful book in 2004, a similar book from 1988 was again successful and even more so. A few readers had noticed similarities and mentioned them in public reviews. Sales of the second book resulted in considerable sales of the older book.
Long-Tail-Economy/Anderson: Thesis: The economy of the 21st century will look different from that of the 20th century: if it used to be about hits, it will now be about niches. (See Terminology/Anderson).
I 39
Hit economy: in the former economy, hits were used to cross-subsidize the many less successful titles - which in turn were used to incubate possible hits. (Ratio 80/20).
I 41
Long-Tail-Economy/Anderson: there is a prehistory that had nothing to do with the internet: Order numbers, parcel delivery, credit cards, databases, even barcodes. These things have evolved over decades. The Internet has connected them to a network in no time at all.
I 116

I 201
