In this week’s disscussion we learned about Sturgeon’s Law. He believes that 90% of everything is crap. I have to agree with this conclusion because only a hand full of information on the internet is worth reading. The Long-tail has allowed people to showcase any content to the world. Amatuers are populating the tail with user-generated content. The internet was pre-filtered for us in the beginning but now we are exposed to any and everything.

I like the filters because it gets you right to the point . Now when searching  for something I have to be more specific. People have created sites that filter things out but they are more slective as far as music, etc. Long-Tail minus filters equals a lot of searching, but the popularity always equals quality. I believe its worth searching because once you find what you are looking for then the reward will be well worth it and in the process you may find more.
