Your final point about curation is a cornerstone of The Conversations Network. One reason we publish events is that we’re leveraging the curatorial efforts of experts. Why should we produce a series on, for example, ‘mobile technology’ when the folks at O’Reilly Media are working hard to recruit the best speakers and experts on the topic? They’re the curators, and with a single acquisition effort we get access to perhaps 25 great sessions per event. The same is true for Interviews with Innovators. You do all the work. :-) In Phase 2, we’ll be crowdsourcing curation, giving us leveraged access to virtually everything and the ability to help people find and share the very best of spoken-word content on any topic, no matter how obscure.
