Anyone a fan of this site? TED: Ideas worth spreading Pretty incredible thinkers, giving short videos (5-20 minutes) on a range of topics. They also have Apps for the iPhone and iPad. Here's how they describe TED ("Technology, Entertainment, Design"):
"TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer -- TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize."
