In my estimation it's obvious that somehow, it will help the big players drive more revenue. Sooner or later it will become obvious to them. But the real challenge - and this applies to not just them, but all the Voice 2.0 players is HOW. The Voice 2.0 community, in my opinion is still a little scattered. Thought leaders like yourself, Alec, Jon Arnold and others point the way. But (speaking for myself alone) I think all of the Voice 2.0 companies would do well to get together and discuss better ways to mature the market. I think once we've found the way to really engage people and markets, that's when all of these concepts will take off. Side note. My middle son woke up one night. He had heard a "very scary noise." What was it? "MEEEOW." I think that this whole long tail theory is pretty straight forward. In my estimation it’s obvious that somehow, it will help the big players drive more revenue.
