Fora.tv - Watch World Affairs Here

The tag line for FORA.tv is "the world is thinking." And then they show you what the world is thinking by offering videos of authors, philosophers, politicians, spiritual leaders, and others. The headline program was a lecture by Salmon Rushdie. It is a great collection of television to watch, and even includes the latest headlines from some of the leading intellectual periodicals such as The Guardian, The Nation, and the Christian Science Monitor. Blogs from leading thinkers are offered as well. Some might say it is the only TV we should watch. Overall, the site design and layout is professional, savvy and user-friendly. They don"t overwhelm you with content or color, but encourage you to explore further, and they encourage users to submit comments and links to other sites/blogs. I hope this site can find a good audience.

Every day, poets, authors, policy experts, activists, madmen, government leaders, visionary thinkers speak in public, hosted by institutions such as nonprofit councils, bookstores, universities, or public spaces. If you"re lucky, their remarks will be covered by the press, edited and compressed, and hard to find when you want it.

There is a lot of video content out there, and this site is a collection for those interested in intellectual, spiritual or political pursuits.

Why aren"t they reaching more of an audience? How do they plan to make a profit?
