  • Abstract
    The phenomenon that a `little´ topic can make a big difference is called `The Tipping Point´. As a strategy for marketing this phenomenon could be a great economic opportunity. For instance, at is a good strategy to promote items associated with a certain fashion. The Tipping Point refers to a situation where the topic matches potential needs of customers. We analyze the mechanism of The Tipping Point in the context of the WWW, and present an algorithm called `Expected Activation´ for discovering promising new topics on the WWW
