I've been asking people hosting free and open live online learning events to contact me. This isn't exactly what I had in mind, but this idea from Venessa Miemis is well worth a mention here. Basically, the idea is to set up a ChatRoulette for worthwhile discussion (rather than the default activities the original ChatRoulette has attracted). "Now what if instead of the 'roulette' format, with two random stranger in a conversation for no good reason, what if we do this as purposeful dialogues between intelligent people to discuss big ideas? ... What if we could engage in mini TED talks with each other? Practice the art of dialogue. Practice listening to another's viewpoint without interruption. Listening!"
