cool - i just used it to search for a course i need some people to take. there may be a bug - i searched for "change management" and it returned the same course twice with different titles. https://www.accredible.com/courses/9692 https://www.accredible.com/courses/10113 thanks!

Thanks for letting us know, we'll look into it... looks like that's a bug!

Looks great. The majority of the classes I plan to take are on MIT OCW. Are there plans to add it?

Yep! That's one of the next we plan to add.

Love it, any plans on adding Lynda and TutsPlus courses?

Lynda support is coming soon, just added TutsPlus to our list!

I would suggest not adding TutPlus and Lynda since every thing would be jumbled up (all course formats). Please have a clear way to filter out Free courses from the Paid ones.

Awesome.

When evaluating MOOCS, I usually have a list of courses that sound cool, but I haven't investigated yet. Once I investigate them a bit more, I put the good ones on a much shorter list of classes which I actually plan to take.

Features to assist this process of narrowing down potential courses after discovering them (beyond ratings) would help you offer a better product than CourseTalk. Perhaps a calendar or multiple lists (interesting, will take, currently taking, finished -- you get the idea).
