A YouTube for intellectuals? - Heather Havenstein, Computer World
Big Think, a new Web 2.0-style site that bills itself as a conduit between global thought leaders and the public for sharing ideas on topics ranging from alternative energy to subprime mortgages, launched in beta on Monday. Big Think, backed by heavy-hitter investors like Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Facebook, and Larry Summers, former U.S. secretary of the Treasury and former president of Harvard University, is initially offering 100 hours of video interviews of leaders like Sen. Edward Kennedy, former Gov. Mitt Romney, businessman Richard Branson, author Naomi Klein, musician Moby, Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer and chef Jacques Pepin. ed note: Perhaps this is a new forum to showcase online learning?
