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.

I have created a Facebook group helping to promote Big Think. I truly hope they can make it. http://cmu.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8395958427 Best of luck!
