The Tube


I've mentioned TED and the BigThink lectures in previous posts.  An article in the Boston Globe Ideas section, November 2, 2008, by Eve LaPlante assigns descriptive names to video television taking over the Web.   TED is the Oprah; BigThink is the Talk Show.  Others are FORA as the Public Broadcaster, Bloggingheads as the Op/Ed and Edge as Graduate Studies.  There is big thinking and watching for the egghead, the politician, the educator or the entrepreneur in all of us.
