FORA.tv
There are brilliant ideas, expressed everyday, in public discussions and events, all over the world.
Don’t miss them.
Fora delivers discourse, discussion, and debates on the world's most interesting political, social, and cultural issues, and enables viewers to join the conversation. It provides deep, unfiltered video content, tools for self-expression, and a place for the interactive community to gather online. In addition to the video presentation in our own Flash-based Fora Player, featured programs offer a complete transcript synced with the video through the addition of metadata to the file. This innovation keeps the long-form content unedited, yet easily searchable and accessible. Users are also able to isolate individual chapters within the full-length programs, making it easy for users to send these specific clips to others or to embed them on their sites.
