Abstract Text A growing amount of digital multimedia content is being created by users and being traded through web platforms. As a consequence, mass products are being more and more displaced by niche-products. This is the foundation for the formation of the so called Long Tail. In this thesis existing “Long Tail interfaces” are being analyzed to get requirements for a new user centered method of resolution. The focus lies with the support of explorative retrieval strategies in combination with adequate mechanisms of social, collaborative informationstructuring. Part of this is an interactive tag browser, which allows the user to search and view videos simultaneously, a blog and e-mail function and a dynamic group function based on a buddy list. Especially the possibility to search and watch simultaneously was very appreciated by the users. It makes it possible to do a dynamic search by consolidating information through the integrated tag browser. It allows a catenation of keywords to be added or removed which enlarges respectively reduces the amount of results.
