Watch or Download Free Documentaries

If you love documentaries and free things then this site is for you. It's exactly what it says - a site where you can watch or download free documentaries - and their collection is pretty extensive.

(If you've never watched any Adam Curtis then you're in for a treat. - they have both The Power of Nightmares and The Century of Self.)

The picture quality varies - but then again did we mention they're free?

FREE for free...

Chris Anderson's new book FREE was released a few days ago and he's giving away copies of it for...well, free. Anderson, who wrote the excellent book "The Long Tail", proposes a new economic model where companies are taking an indirect route to generating revenue by giving away products and services for nothing and then charging for either premium services or cross-selling more valuable packages. 

In the interests of being both wealthy and wise a free book is about as good as it gets. You can review the various ways to get your hands on a copy over at Anderson's blog.

I've downloaded the free unabridged MP3 version, but haven't listened to it yet so can't comment on the quality or content, but Malcom Gladwell had already voiced his displeasure with certain aspects of the book and marketing guru Seth Godin has chimed in on the debate, coming down in favour of Anderson.

So, go get something for free and let us know what you think?
