Apologies in advance if we startle anyone by posting here after a few months of not, but we wanted to let you know about something we had a hand in. Actually, there are quite a few such things we’ve had hands in lately, but we’ll try to keep it focused in on one at a time. This particular thing is a site called Academic Earth.
Academic Earth brings you full video courses and lectures from the world’s leading scholars. For real. Check out Larry Page speaking on taking risks. And here’s Guy Kawasaki giving advice to young entrepreneurs at Stanford.
A short while ago, Slate called the site “Hulu, but for nerds.” Today, TechCrunch said “something or other” as well. We’ll leave the writing to the bloggers but reserve the further analysis to you.
That link, again, is http://academicearth.com. Go get ur knowledge.
Also, congratulations to the AE team. There’s a lot to be proud of.
UPDATE: Lifehacker has something to say as well. (So do others. But Lifehacker is always so cordial.)
What an amazing resource. I have watched 3 presentations under Entrepreneurship and they are all great. My favorite — the highlighted presentation by Guy Kawasaki. I appreciate his insight… especially into the importance of PR.
