It all started last month, when I spotted the cool iPod-integration kit introduced by Mercedes. I was quite excited with the cool use of technology and the innovative idea, that I started spreading the word around [talk about Evangelism .. :)]. I also went on to blog about the same and even submitted it as a cool trend at TrendHunter.com. I was quite amazed by the TrendHunter site and the idea behind having such a site. Well, so I submitted my trend and kept checking back for the next couple of days to see if it was included or not. When it wasn’t , I simply forgot about it.

While doing my daily dose of BusinessWeek reading, I came across an insightful article which absolutely warranted a post on my blog. So here it is !
In their quest to come up with a “summer reading list” , BusinessWeek asked entrepreneurs which books were most influential in helping them build their companies. These were the replies …

“A little book called THE CONATIVE CONNECTION, by management consultant Kathy Kolbe, has been by my side for years. It explains motivations and work styles better than anything else I’ve read. In any business, you have to bring out the best in people. The only way to do that is to understand them.”

Lately, I have been reading a lot about the “Long Tail” of everything. The phrase - The Long Tail - was first used by Wired Magazine’s editor Chris Anderson. The concept drew in part from an influential essay by Clay Shirky, “Power Laws, Weblogs and Inequality” that noted that a relative handful of weblogs have many links going into them but “the long tail” of millions of weblogs may have only a handful of links going into them. Anderson went on to extend on that same idea by drawing a perspective on the effects of the long tail on current and future business models.
