Academic Earth Aggregates Hundreds of Lectures

The web site Academic Earth puts hundreds of lectures from Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Standford and Yale into one easy-to-use location. You can search by subjects, universities or instructors. This site reminds me of iTunes University, but Academic Earth is much easier to use. Plus, every video lecture here is free and open. You can can download or embed these videos into your website without charge.
