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).
Yeah, I selected the 'show past courses' checkbox and selected a course that was over a year ago. If you are looking for specific data points for the bug, it was the Coursera "Machine Learning" class.
http://degreed.com/ tracks and creates a scorecard (like a FICO score) for lifelong learning
http://www.mysliderule.com/ is a pretty comprehensive list of online courses / MOOCs
http://www.coursetalk.com/ has MOOC reviews and ratings
https://www.class-central.com another good list of online courses
http://www.skilledup.com a very comprehensive list of learning materials
We (Accredible) are attempting to focus more on high quality courses and then on guiding the user through the learning process by helping with organization of your work, connecting you with other learners and creating portfolio credentials that you can link to from your LinkedIn profile or CV.

I would happily pay for that. The clunky export to Google Calendar does not work that well and it relies on tutors have the file for import to begin with.
I typically partake in 2-3 MOOCs and another personal dev course at the same time.
Calendar type functionality = my $$$
Great product BTW. Love it.
there may be a bug - i searched for "change management" and it returned the same course twice with different titles.
