TED Alternatives

Have you watched all of the TED Talk videos? Have you been looking for some other source of bite sized “big ideas” in web video format? There are alternatives out there.

For example, The Onion is now putting together what they call Onion Talks.

No, that’s not right, is it? That’s just silly.

However there are some good sources of thoughtful online video content. One of my favorites in Talks@Google. They’re recordings of interesting thinkers, artists, and writers who gave talks on the Google campus. One of my favorite recent ones is this one by Cory Doctorow. It’s a follow on to his very popular 28c3 talk.
