@dataguy - not sure what you mean by "polarizing factor" - where's the polarity in that? By the way I love that word - it's one of the laws of the universe :)

For the past 100 years, Pareto's Law could only possibly apply to those around you. With the Internet, 'those around you' is much more inclusive. People on the other side of the Globe have just as much access to your website as people physically next door to you.

I think by it's very nature, this makes Pareto's Law more like 90/10 or 95/5 when you're dealing with the Internet.

The proverbial 15 minutes of fame is more like 90 seconds now. Make the most of it!
