New site showcases hundreds of 5-minute videos from Ignite events worldwide

O’Reilly has officially announced the launch of igniteshow.com!

Sebastopol, CA—Humans really like to congregate. Even as we increasingly live—and share—our lives online, we seek out opportunities to meet, talk, and get recharged by the energy of a crowd. From March 1-5, 2010, roughly 10,000 people will congregate at more than 60 Ignites on six continents, as the first Global Ignite Week rolls across the planet. They’ll gather in local venues, grab a cold beverage, and watch a series of 5-minute talks from geeks, entrepreneurs, creative professionals, farmers, educators—people in their community who rise to the challenge of the Ignite motto: “Enlighten us, but make it quick.”
And now those Ignite events will be able to showcase their local Igniter’s talks online. O’Reilly Media has launched igniteshow.com, a new video portal that brings hundreds of 5-minute Ignite videos together in one site.
