It’s the Economist, stupid!
posted by Joe at 10:18 am
This week’s issue of The Economist has three fun pieces. All of them focus, in one way or another, on Internet-centered phenomena. Happily, two of them are openly available at the magazine’s online edition. (The third, a book review of Chris Anderson’s The Long Tail, is not. The book, which I happen to be reading right now, is engaging. Here’s the page for it at Amazon.)
The first, entitled The Ultimate Marketing Machine, explores the increased efficiency of Internet-based advertising strategies. The second, entitled Apples Are Not the Only Fruit, explores “the economics of France’s attempt to open up iTunes” to mp3 players other than the iPod.
Enjoy!
