   TED is great… I’ve got the TED app for my iPhone and check the site all the time. What’s your fave? I might try to imbed some of these into my blog.

    New ideas are great and it’s really inspiring to watch these videos. On the other hand it’s a shame that human nature will stay the same in the end. World’s changing around us every minute but we’ll still be sheeps and shepherds, lords and peasants, slaves of our instincts. Only our clothes change. Even so – at least we fight, build and change. And hope that it’s for the better,

    Yup, really cool announcement, thanks for sharing!

    Awesome. I’ve been watching the podcast on my AppleTV for a year now. Good to know we can share them now.

    Now if you guys can add support for Comedy Central so I can post the best TDS and Colbert shows I’ll be in heaven.

    TED is the bomblick!! A little elitist coz it costs a healthy handful of bucks ($995) to register to be a member which is a little unfair coz then ideas only get spread to those who can afford it. But don’t let that deter you from checking out the website. It’s *@$%ing brilliant!
21. Yasir Imran Apr 18th at 6:44 am

    TED, I never heard that, However I would like to see it.

28. rach Apr 18th at 1:31 pm

    Perfect!! 😀 Previously I have used vodpod to get some ted talks to appear, but it wasn’t the most trivial or user-friendly of setups… so I’m certainly glad to see this.

    🙂 Ta muchly,

    Hi everyone. My name is Peter Njenga, and I ‘m proud to be a TED addict.
    In just a few months, I have downloaded 143 talks which I freely share and embed on my Peter’s Walkabout and Green Kenya blogs.
    TED epitomizes my long held belief that we should always seek to add value both in our lives and those of others. TED makes it possible for me to Learn, Share and Progress with those who gain access to my PeterNjenga.com web site and its attendant blogs.
    Kudos to the great thinkers and doers at TED, EG, Skoll and DLD for sharing their insight.

    TED and Jill Bolte Taylor go hand in hand…

    check out her video…she gets inside your head.

41. Derek Apr 19th at 5:13 pm

    Paul Collier’s talk on “The Bottom Billion” is phenomenal. I love TED and its one I’d really recommend.
42. Spar Kitty Apr 19th at 6:52 pm

    Ted Rocks.
    My favorite: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html

    A neuroanatomist (brain study-er) has a stroke and finds Nirvana – is inspired to recovery to spread that idea.

    VERY touching and inspiring.

    LOVE IT!!

    I found this website last year and passed my word around my friends. I checked with TED every couple weeks. Great great people on it. Worth spending time there.
44. mkbiden Apr 20th at 2:39 am

    Yes I do believe that TED is great and that it listens to
    you for to to get some good inspiration.It tells you some
    Of the jobs that are on tv and they talk about them. It’s a
    ok for you to wright and listen to other people who have
    Wrote a comment or something to talk about.
45. imageforu Apr 20th at 3:05 am

    Very nice post. I enjoyed viewing the website. Suzanne K. Levis
46. dAlen Apr 20th at 6:52 am

    Funny, back in 2007 I was posting videos from TED here. (how time flies!)
    Apparently now the embedded video I posted no longer works – glad this note is here or I wouldnt realized I have to go back and re-embed it??? 😉

    Peace

    TED is a gift to the planet!
    [Technology, Entertainment, Design]
    Our brightest and most dynamic share their genius on TED for freeee!
    knowledge is power and education is the way to solving the problems we and the planet have
    I only wish they would also transcribe the talks so i can read what they have to say – uses up a lot less band width!
    an enlightening talk I downloaded as a pod cast a while back by colourful character Dr Philip Zimbardo
    on The Lucifer Effect – it’s about how good people can go bad, very very bad
    how on earth does it happen?
    i now know!

    http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/philip_zimbardo_on_the_psychology_of_evil.html

    one has the choice of downloading a pod cast [mp3] or viewing the man giving the talk

    perfect, thats really perfect…..!
50. dharanpdeepak Apr 20th at 12:44 pm

    I’m a great fan of TED, I recommend it for everyone looking for the best and creative side of the world. I also recommend that every schools and universities must screen Ted Talks at least 2 hours a week, this can help students to improve their creativity and the same time know about a wide variety of things…

    TED is great! I heard of the conference about 2 years ago. Love to read about the panelists, I’ve purchased some of their books too. Also, you can download TED videos or voice only recordings from iTunes.
54. susu222 Apr 20th at 9:19 pm

    Well, that was just great!! I took a look and couldn’t stop. I had to watch another and another…Thanks for posting this site…
55. Sunfell Apr 20th at 9:27 pm

    TED has some fantastic videos. Just search on ‘jawdropping’ on their site, and you’ll see what I mean.
56. bookbabie Apr 20th at 9:48 pm

    Love TED, I’ve had them on my sidebar for some time and it’s nice to know I can now embed my faves!

    Hey Thorsten – Thanks for a great into to TED. It’s a way wicked idea that I’m amazed no one has taken up much earlier. I’m sure it will become a favourite. Great job in reconnecting the world. Keep up the great articles.

62. Mush Apr 21st at 2:47 pm

    One of my favorites on TED was the presentation on Sixth Sense Mobile! Check it out.
63. carin Apr 21st at 6:30 pm

    i’ve been a big fan of TED since they began when you either had to be somebody or at least somebody with a lot of money to be invited. the decision of TED organizers to share the bounty of the conferences with the planet for free is brilliant and since then i have gained immeasurably by being able to watch/listen to what i could never afford before. this is, what TED envisioned from the beginning, the vanguard of a new and higher consciousness.
64. scorenalizer Apr 21st at 7:46 pm

    Well TED Talks will be followed by years and year.. we are currently on project of making TED more reliable to all of customers who uses WordPress.Com and WordPress Platforms.

    thanks, I had to link to one instead of putting on my blog a few months ago, this is much nicer.
70. umstrum Apr 22nd at 7:07 pm

    it’s funny but my friend told me about TED the other day and now i’m hearing about it everywhere. i have been looking at their site today and i think i might place some of their videos on my page
    thanks wordpress!
71. morealtitude Apr 23rd at 8:06 am

    I watched the clip of war-photographer James Nachtwey’s TED talk on their site and I found it both inspirational and powerful- incredible images and an amazing life, and I still have a link to it on one of my homepages so I can continue to catch it when I feel the need to get a bit pepped up.
72. businessofipl Apr 23rd at 9:42 am

73. Andrei Apr 23rd at 12:20 pm

    that’s really an idea worth spreding!
74. chinapenguin Apr 23rd at 3:19 pm

    But is it anything more than another “emperor’s new clothes” idea?
• Heather May 7th at 7:55 pm

  I’m not quite sure what this means. Try it out and maybe that will answer your question 🙂

    This is very useful to me
90. Claudia Apr 25th at 4:21 pm

    The TED Talks are a great source of ideas, passion, intelligence, creativity and general human cultural richness. Listening to them makes me feel glad to be alive. One of the things that I appreciate about the Web site is the smart browsing, interactive user interface. Select on themes, topics, ratings, or newest talks to browse the ever expanding content. Makes coming back to the site again and again a fresh and rewarding experience.

    Go, Learn, Invent, Be inspired to act.

    Ted.com is definitely a super resource for those moments when you think “there is no hope for humanity” – you always come away from watching the talks feeling a little less hopless. And all that drama aside, the talks are often funny, insightful and quite amazing. They cover so many different things – from technology to comedy. Great stuff! Been visiting Ted for a little under a year now – it’s nice to see more people are starting to become aware of it and what they do.
94. gailjrichardson Apr 26th at 2:01 am

    This was a very good video. I don’t understand it but I’m trying to learn. Will read more about it and try to learn from it. Thanks
