Stanford videos on publishing

This is great series of short videos on the topic of publishing from Stanford University. Unfortunately they are not producing any more of them—something about a 'budget crisis', say wha?—but what's in their archive is worth watching.

Topics range from books and magazines to blogging and future trends. I especially liked the videos from IDEO co-founder Bill Moggridge on non-traditional media, from former Wired art director Jeremy LaCroix about the function of the grid, and from author Chris Anderson on Long Tail-style media competition.

Note that SPPC's slogan, "Ideas Transform," is very similar in spirit to TED's "Ideas Worth Sharing." Just sayin'.
