Hate to pick an argument with a guy as smart and as popular with the blogger set as Chris Anderson but if his declaration that "Free" (book out in early 2009) is the future of business is true, then heaven...

In May, Wired 's editor-in-chief Chris Anderson mentioned a social networking, um, network the magazine was developing. Due to lawyer-related constraints, he couldn't go beyond a brief announcement, choosing instead to wax philosophically about aerial robotics. It appears as though we're getting closer to the platform becoming a reality. Folio: 's Jason Fell reports that Anderson's magazine launched...

Chris Anderson is currently writing his new book, called Free, and in it he describes that in a competitive market, price tends towards marginal cost and therefore the price of most software (I think an exception will definitely be in the enterprise space), will tend towards being free. Basically, Economics 101, with a twist [...]

Chris Anderson's book, The Long Tail , showed how the Internet has made it possible for business models that focus on small niche markets rather than mass markets to be successful. While a bricks-and-mortar bookstore will typically have at most a couple hundred thousand titles and make most of its money from bestsellers, Amazon.com can list millions of titles and make more money from the "long tail"...

One of the issues we've had about Chris Anderson's discussion about the 'free economy' is that we wondered whether there really were enough advertising dollars to go around to support it. Ah-ha, Chris Anderson says… ... continue reading

Julia Allison's interview with Wired EIC Chris Anderson showed us yet another undiscovered side of her multifaceted personality: her role as driver of the world economy. "Whenever I link to things on my blog," she noted, "I get e-mails from owners of

Chris Anderson, author of the Long Tail, wrote a thought-provoking article yesterday quantifying the dollars being made around the “free” economy. He pegs it at $300 Billion worldwide. It’s much bigger than that. In fact, in the stream of commerce, all free things are somehow related to money-making ventures. You can’t separate them, because [...]

Julia Allison's relentless march toward B-list mediocrity proceeds apace. Here she is in conversation with Wired EIC Chris Anderson, who was manipulated by the calculating Allison into making her his magazine's covergirl. (Or was he? WHO IS MANIPULATING

I was reading Chris Anderson's article on the size of the FreeConomics market (of which another post later) when I came across his other blog - for amateur Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV, or Drones) design and lost a happy hour there. Chris is thinking of setting up competitions for amateur UAV builders. UAV's combine the Geek Triathlon of mechatronics/robotics, complex computer systems (for autopilots...

Chris Anderson submits: Here's a question I get all the time: How big is the free economy? That's harder to answer than you might think, for both definition and measurement reasons. But here's a first past at doing it anyway. (Note: I'm just using US figures below, unless marked otherwise) Complete Story »

Chris Anderson bravely tries to put a figure on the value of the "free economy" - those businesses that use free as part of their model. What struck me is the extent to which the ecosystem that has grown up around GNU/Linux dominates everything else in this admittedly back-of-the-envelope calculation: $30 billion out of a rough $50 billion. Which confirms the extent to which open source continues to...

Chris Anderson has done a useful exercise to estimate the value of the ‘really free economy’ (which excludes free as a gimmick and advertising-supported media), which he considers to be in the ballpark of $300 billion. The article starts by explaining a typology of the free economy, which I think has been done better elsewhere. See here [...]

Harvard Business Review on The Long Tail Anita Elberse of Harvard Business School has completed a new look at consumer data to write a piece entitled Should You Invest in the Long Tail ? Her article seems to be written as a corrective to some of the hoopla around Chris Anderson’s book, The Long Tail . Her article is worth reading but mainly for the quality of her research. The analysis, however, struck
