The Long Tail of Pain

Welcome to Gauravonomics! Subscribe to my RSS feed in a feed reader or by e-mail and you'll never miss my posts on marketing, technology and social media.

The Long Tail doesn’t only define the new economics of culture and commerce; it also defines the new economics of relationships.

My new favorite idea is The Long Tail of Pain - how social media allows us to find pain anytime, anyplace, in any form. (Twitter)

    What about stage 5? She gets dumped for a 22 year trophy wife, gets nothing because of the pre-nup, and ends up on Facebook again? ;-)

    By the way, the thing with a long tail curve is that it never meets the X axis. So, there is no end to our man’s social networking misery. :-)

  8. Lovely. Additionally, I would have liked to see a first stage that says “Girlfriend shows indications of wanting to break up”
    * Other guys hug/poke her on facebook.
    * A-list blogger gets added to her blogroll
    * More guys follow her on Twitter
    * She writes password protected posts on her blog and does not let you know the password
