I saw Ito on a panel debate, in the Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford conference -- incidentally the place where he was first approached regarding the position [1].
If Biz Stone made the funny web-cowboy comments, Ito definitely made the thoughtful ones. He came across as a thinker. Although a complete outsider's view, I'm really looking forward to how he will run the Media Lab.
Of course, no other university would have nominated such a person for such a position. Lead the way, MIT.
