If you thought the long tail bof is related to the Long-tailed weasel of Central America, you would be wrong.
Our very own Dave McClure held a BOF (birds-of-a-feather) session in the evening, during the last timeslot of the day (8:30P-9:30P). The topic? Vertical Search and the Long Tail (Download Powerpoint). Dave's heartfelt thanks to the 4 people who showed up.
Just joking. Over 35 people participated in this session, sharing their thoughts on vertical search, emerging business models and the threat of the "big guys". Seeing as Dave stood between the end of a long day of sessions, and an open bar at the Microsoft reception, we were pleasantly surprised with the turnout and discussion.
Thanks to Jeremy Zawodny for co-moderating. I am looking forward to his talk tomorrow: Intro to Yahoo! Search Web Services.
