Question 80/20 - History and Practical Application?

Recently reference to the seemingly well known 80/20 (principle, law, rule, guideline) has been coming up alot in my life and its got me thinking .

Where exactly does this principle come from? Does anyone have any history on it? Also I think it would be interesting to find out other peoples experiences with the 80/20, especially regarding situations where it works extremely well, and others where the opposite is true!

From here...

"I’m sure most people are familiar with Pareto’s principle, developed by an Italian economist and most commonly known as the 80/20 Rule. While Pareto originally used the rule noticing that 80% of the wealth was owned by 20% of the population..."

Cheers Shamou,

One less thing to ponder.
