This Week in Startups - Salman Khan, founder of Khan Academy

[TheLumoAl]

what is the name of this song that starts at  0:00:28 ?

[EnjoiningKnowlege]

Sal is absolutely brilliant!

[omniscientken]

When are these comp sci and mba etc coming out?

I find it interesting how they discuss how this could force some test prep companies to change their business models. I personally would be SO appreciative if something like Khan Academy MCAT prep came about. Now THERE would be something truly worth a thousand dollars, unlike many of the MCAT test prep services out there. Perhaps this undercutting of the existing test prep business might even force these businesses to up their game and make truly useful resources for students. Thank you Sal!

this guy has great vision. the models and explanations are very clear.

[unwireme]

khan, your cool. i cant say thank you enough.

[MarvelsofaLifetime]

Lmao, I love it how Sal makes everyone else seem so slow. He’s just so bright, sagacious, and insanely intelligent.

I've been reviewing my Math skills with Sal's videos for almost a year - he's an amazing instructor (and funny too!)

[boeing747200lr]

Sal, ur my hero.

[adamwishneusky]

They might have millions from Google and the Gates Foundation, but I just gave the Khan Academy $50. You should too!

Skip to 7:23 for the start of the interview.

[GreenAms]

The host is not super smart...meaning he is dim 

[Platemaster]

Why can't users make their own videos in Khan Academy? Site needs more complex academic subjects and people are ready to deliver it, so what's the hold up?

[plllll0]

@Platemaster "people are ready to deliver it" but are they comparable to sal's quality of learning?

[Platemaster]

@plllll0 Yes, they are. There can be an approval process if necessary.

[hedonism13]

@plllll0

Actually, Sal's plan for the future is to have users create playlists on topics he isn't knowledgable on, like language and geography.
