OPINION
YouTube, with its view-count ticker, has become a useful tool for
determining the popularity of an online video — whether it has gone
“viral,” as the kids say. Atop YouTube’s list of most-popular course
lectures (as of April 1) is “Justice,” Michael J. Sandel’s legendary
philosophy class. The course’s videos also happen to be the only
ones produced for public television. The Top 10 videos are the first
lecture in a series, except No. 6, which is smack in the middle of a
course on search engines. That lecture may have been boosted by a
guest — Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google.
