1. TED Video Lectures
TED video lectures are amazing. The speakers are all so passionate, and each lecture gives you new insights that can lead to a new perspective. It helps, too, that the videos looks great - stunning HD, creative angles.
And TED lectures are proof that online videos don't have to be short. If the video is good, and the topic is interesting, people will watch videos of any length.
