TED Blog

We've always been fans of TED -- the long-running, annual Technology, Entertainment, and Design conference. It doesn't hurt that they're good bloggers, who are constantly sharing insights on an eclectic mix of topics from advertising to wunderkind.  (Check our their impressive tag cloud.) Starting today, they have some even more amazing material to share -- video and audio posts from the participants of the annual TED meetups. These are presenters like Al Gore, Hans Rosling, Sir Ken Robinson, Tony Robbins, David Pogue, and Majora Carter. The organizers of the event have always wanted the ideas discussed there to flourish and spread beyond the conference hall. Now, they've got the ultimate outlet -- their TypePad blog and the integrated VideoEgg service. That means you can get the content how ever you like -- via your browser, your feedreader, or iTunes. You can also visit the standalone TedTalks site, which compiles all the videos in one convenient location. You can even cut and paste a snippet of code to serve the videos from your own blog. According to June Cohen, the Director of TED Media, the the idea is simple, "to share these profound ideas with the widest possible audience." Look for more and more speeches from this amazing lineup of thinkers in the weeks and months to come.
