I don't watch nearly as much stuff on TED as I should/would wish too, so I figured if I started a thread others would encourage me more

Here is one I watched today, by no means the best, but an enjoyable 12 minutes

Sigh

Thought when Kinboshi posted we might have some TED gold!

(& btw, 3rd in with the same joke isn't funny)  ;dingdell; ;melissa;

It was either Big Ted or Ted Danson - amused me, but will leave you to it.  Loads of good TED videos though.

Don't leave us to it. Post some ted gold! :0)

Thanks for introducing me to this Outrageous, I was spending far too little time on the internet!

what is TED please?

before I plunge in with my spare hours, sigh

brief summary from website

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 on the West Coast each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer -- TED includes the award-winning TED Talks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.

Basically just lots of short lectures (between 5-20 mins) on a vast range of topics. Some motivational, thought provoking, typical lectures. You name it, they are on there. Definitely worth a look

So it's basically Tikay's diary?

thanks

please pop links up to good ones. I am loathe to get another internet hobby which no doubt going on their site would lead me to have lol

TED is excellent.

One of the best ones I've seen:

http://www.ted.com/talks/james_randi.html

This is also my all time fave TED talk.

I also like this one http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation.html

The chances are if you are considering buying a non fiction book thats made a bestseller list, there is usually a TED talk by the author which gives you an idea whether its any good or not. 

@Tighty - you will love it

Also worth a look

http://www.ted.com/talks/ben_goldacre_battling_bad_science.html

http://www.ted.com/talks/malcolm_gladwell_on_spaghetti_sauce.html

Oh, good shout with Ben Goldacre. 

I picked that for one particular line, you will know what it is.

Not sure, but is it the Dr Gillian McKeith one?

It is

Not normally one for pride but very pleased looking back that in 03/04 we had people like Levitt and Malcolm Gladwell speak at our American & European conferences. Gladwell especially, one of the best I've seen

Not seen Gladwell speak, but if he speaks as well as he writes, then definitely worth seeing I reckon. 

What was he speaking about?

Some threads from Blink made applicable (loosely) to the conference theme - Customer Service/Customer Experience. Very engaging speaker, great customer feedback to us for having him..good days

whooaaaaaaaaaaaaa  that was really good - highly recommend

This is an amazing episode.  I have a couple of Hubsan X4 quads bought for £30 each from amazon so this one really caught my attention.

Loving the first comment: "Shut up and take my money"

Yea, I saw that as well, lol. 

This vid was linked onto the ted talk from another forum. I have to get some FPV goggles. This takes me back to my family holidays in Blackpool as a kid.
