About TED

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).

This site makes the best talks and performances from TED available to the public, for free. More than 200 talks from our archive are now available, with more added each week. These videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and reposted.

Nice! There is a TED group, very cool! I love their talks, they all make me think, if even just a little. Though I greatly enjoy the science ones most, so if you see one, link it to me :)

That looks like a helluva line up.

They're too expensive for regular folks like you and I to attend. I would love to be there. One day I will, be it speaking there or just listening.

I had to join this group. I have been a TED fan ever since I found videos of one of my favorite poets, Rives, speaking at a TEDtalk. Why TED isn't more publicized on mainstream news eludes me. Then again... no it doesn't, actually.

I've been following the TEDtalks on my iTunes for almost 2 months now! I'm an addict. I disliked the Billy Graham and "Purpose Driven Life" ones, but I really enjoyed Julia Sweeney and Dawkins, as well as "The Universe on a String".
Comment by Angela Haynes on July 19, 2008 at 4:31pm
There are definitely a lot of good ones. One of my
first faves is Julia Sweeney's: Letting go of God.

I have so many favorites but my most recent favorite was Benjamin Zander. I started listening to classical music because of him. He gave me a whole new perspective.

I've been watching these slowly in succession since I saw The Future We Will Create, stopping to look up different speakers on YouTube and getting WAAAAY sidetracked by volumes and volumes of videos of Dennett, Harris, Hitchens, and Dawkins.

One of my favorites is Michael Shermer on believing strange things. He's just a very entertaining guy and you could kill a whole week watching him on YouTube.

He was uncredited for a recent appearance on Penn & Teller's 'Bullshit!' program, which airs on Showtime.
