TIME Magazine’s 50 Best Websites 2009 is out, and we’re extremely excited to report that a site by Electric Pulp made the list. Coming in at number 9, Academic Earth brings you lectures from MIT, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and more, all in one place. (If you haven’t checked it out, we highly recommend it.)
Other sites on the list include Google, Twitter, Amazon, Wikipedia, and Flickr. So, this is pretty amazing news.
We’d like to again say congratulations to the Academic Earth team — they’re having a great run so far. Other accolades include mentions in PC Magazine’s Top 100 Web Sites of 2009 and Richard Ludlow’s own inclusion in the BusinessWeek “America’s Best Young Entrepreneurs, 2008″ as well as a host of great stories from NPR (“An online hub for free university classes, lectures”), Slate (“How to Go to Harvard for Free: The joys of Academic Earth’s online video lectures.”), and others.
Congrats.
But what’s a twitter?

Congrats guys. This is great stuff. The concept and the actual site are both fantastic, and the spot on the list is certainly well-earned. Unlike Mr. Vilhauer there, I’ve actually heard of this Twitter phenomenon, and that’s all fine and good, but your guys’ work with Academic Earth is unique and awesome and deserved. Congrats again. And feel free to keep doing stellar work while you’re at it.

[...] One of Time Magazine’s 50 Best Websites of 2009. You can watch video lectures from top profs at the nation’s most respected universities like MIT, Stanford and such. Organized nicely, searchable, and best of all–FREE. The other cool part? The site was built by some friends at Electric Pulp. [...]
