I think what makes them interesting is that now I have a lot of choice in which classes to take... maybe someone will set up a "Rotten Tomatoes" site to rate online classes.

I don't want to take every single NLP class, but if I take one here, and don't quite get it, perhaps the Google (or Stanford, or whoever) course will make it click for me, or offer some alternative insight or useful method.

So I'm glad they're putting them up. Thanks Amazon!
