An interesting online public debate/discussion about a wide range of topics (that all participants can contribute to). I signed up as jenbINblmgtn...need more time to play around with it before posting more there but I like the fact they have gotten input and comments from several notable experts and leaders. Definitely worth looking into further.
From a Chronicle for Higher Ed article: Thanks to YouTube, Professors Are Finding New Audiences:
"One Web site that opened this week, Big Think, hopes to be "a YouTube for ideas." The site offers interviews with academics, authors, politicians, and other thinkers. Most of the subjects are filmed in front of a plain white background, and the interviews are chopped into bite-sized pieces of just a few minutes each. The short clips could have been served up as text quotes, but Victoria R. M. Brown, co-founder of Big Think, says video is more engaging. "People like to learn and be informed of things by looking and watching and learning," she says."

Hi Jennifer
I picked up on that post too, partly becuase i was looking around for stuff on the UC Berkeley videos on Youtube.
Just buy the by, I've been tinkering with making the UCB video lectures portable and embeddable in a grazr feed widget - there's a demo at http://blogs.open.ac.uk/Maths/ajh59/012375.html
