According to Google Sitemap, the most frequently searched term that yields my web site is network effects, with a rank of between 6 and 8, probably on account of the overview of network effects deeper inside this site.

I've been doing a lot of work on the economics of the long tail recently. You've probably seen a lot of long tail discussion in the press. Stay tuned: over the summer, I'll post our research results.
I've also recently gotten interested in economining. What is economining?

I figure its going to be way more general than that, encompassing all of data mining that exploits or informs economic models and methods. Meanwhile, here's our economining project page.
