MusicVISTA now taps into the long tail: Artist Information

Wikipedia is the Internet encyclopedia that, as Chris Anderson says in his book “The Long Tail”, represents the long tail of encyclopedias. It dwarfs anything has come before. Regular encyclopedias simply don’t have to room for detailed articles on musicians. But Wikipedia does. So I’ve added another feature to our music test analysis software. MusicVISTA now includes links to Wikipedia for the artist(s) for each song. If there is no entry in Wikipedia, but I’ve been able to find a different site (often an official site for the artist), I’ve linked you to that site instead. Because we can!
