Experts seem to write about the same thing. I read them to learn from just as I sat through school for 12 years and learned through each grade from a different teacher. Maybe experts are teachers? So the longtail could be the students? <blockquote>- because they knew very little and had open minds they were very successful in the end.</blockquote> Ben - That is a wonderful story! Are they considered Experts now? David - ha ha. Great metaphor though... everything and anything seems to relate to sex eh? John - Truth be told I don't know who Shunryo Suziki is. I came across his quote in a mini-paperback I have. The wording and message I felt was fairly positive and in turn gave me some hope. I will check out your review of his book, thanks.

All experts should read "Zen Mind, Beginners' Mind".

They had people like Joshua Davis on their staff (praystation.com, onceuponaforest.com, etc.) and they said the reason they were so successful is because they didn't know anything about the web. They did sites for Jennifer Lopez, P Diddy, etc. Tons of people in the entertainment industry. Since they didn't know anything about usability or load times or browser compatibility they produced really cutting edge Flash stuff that the entertainment industry loved because it looked a lot like TV and allowed tons of user interaction and sound. I thought it was interesting - because they knew very little and had open minds they were very successful in the end. Years ago there was a design firm called Kioken.

Oh man, you're messing with my mind :-) "Once a beginner a learns the basics they move away from the experts" - that's great food for thought there - and I've been thinking about it and it's totally true. I recall many blogs that I used to visit religiously when I first began blogging that I rarely visit these days - they're still in my rss reader. I see the whole blogosphere as one big long tail - the mass of "experts" followed by millions waging the tail. you mean the world is NOT flat? Oh man, you’re messing with my mind :-)
