Big thoughts on BigThink
Dubbed "YouTube for ideas," BigThink - the brain child of Peter Hopkins with backing from Larry Summers - is a place where leading public intellectuals answer questions asked by an unseen interviewer.
For a starter see Bill Easterly opine on Jeffrey Sachs' approach to aid.

If you like Big Think (mentioned above), you should check out another newly launched site, TheFinalClub.org.
Although lacking video content of famous academics, TheFinalClub.org has a much more thorough engagement with intellectual ideas. The site includes comprehensive blogs of Harvard courses, including Social Thought in Modern America and another extraordinarily popular class, called Justice. The site also includes in-depth annotations of great works of literature, philosophy, and history with an innovative linking system.
