The long tail
The lj page is an official Foglio site. In contrast to our mission, long term scholarship about the visible pages of the comic the mission there is discussion of the current page and incidentally proofreading of details. It provides a different perspective than is seen on our site and a different often more copious comments than on our page-by-page forum discussions. For that reason it seemed worth linking to from our page-by-page discussions.

The long tail refers to the fact that the internet facilitates the special interests of individuals over a long period of time rather than a "one size fits all and lucky if you can find it in your size" short tail market. So some things on the net are worth keeping even if they serve only a small few.

The lj link is a little troublesome to maintain. By default is links to the general blog. When I was doing weekly updates I made sure to connect it to the corresponding page at the same time as I updated the chronology. That way it was always up to date. It took a small amount of time each page day. Even w/o updating it is still useful you just have to track down the page yourself on the blog. Then if your nice you would update the link by noting the lj discussion page id and editing the link.

I don't know what the pole is to help decide. So I add these comments.
