I’ve recently been watching a few of Google’s TechTalks and other related content. They haven’t been widely promoted, but there’s some great free content on there. Basically they’re roughly one hour long presentations on a wide range of subjects. The ones I’ve watched so far have been well worth my time. Particular favourites are:

• Performance Tuning Best Practices for MySQL
• “All Marketers are Liars” – Seth Godin speaks at Google
• Glimpse Inside a Metaverse: The Virtual World of Second Life

Full marks to Google for making these freely available.
