Denton, Byrne Celebrate Long Tail In New York

It seemed that anyyone even-remotely associated with New York’s new media resurgence was in Tribeca last night at the Flavorpill-hosted New York debut of Wired editor Chris Anderson‘s Long Tail.

Talking Head David Byrne — who never met a PowerPoint he didn’t like — was there. Gawker Media’s Nick Denton — whose recent moves seem to indicate he’s trying not to slide anywhere near the long end of the tail — was there too.
