Going to ted.com is not centralized enough?
- mwexler 15y agoIMHO, no. Centralized is where I go to get more than one type or source of content. Hence, the rise of aggregators, which are now the most popular sites online. Netflix is also an aggregator; we just don't normally think of it that way because we consume it as a service which offers content unavailable, for the most part, elsewhere online. With the decline in movies, however, I am seeing lots of content that replicates other sources (lots of TV shows), but it's still nice to have it all in one "place". I'm actually quite pleased to be able to have TED videos in my queue. I'd prefer they get a few more, you know, "flix", but in the meantime, this opens up TED content to some whole new audiences. (Of course, the next logical step is for Netflix to go straight downhill and start offering video "podcasts" by annoying youtube "stars" and become a youtube junior. I hope not, but we'll see...)
