Thanks to Lee Gomes at the WSJ for his column today pointing to fora.tv, an organization that compiles and posts lecture series from think tanks, universities, etc.
As Gomes notes,
Their goals are ambitious. Fora.tv's is to be for ideas what ESPN is to sports. In some areas, like the upcoming presidential election, it will have a lot of competition, including from big players such as Google and Yahoo, which are themselves trying to connect with an interested public.
What a great antidote to the dumbing down of the web. But wait, where's the twitter feed?
