I just noticed TalkBean on the Museum of Modern Betas. It’s basically a marketplace for tutors and students - the idea being that the two match up and the student pays for some online tutoring.It’s a shame that it’s webcam and headset as a set-up, because that really limits the type and style of tutoring and it looks like it might feel a bit like a learning helpdesk. But it is interesting in the sense that it really operates in that long tail market and outside of any institutions.It’s certainly worth keeping an eye on.
