The web can be a sea of information and full of fun stuff, cool things and pics, but sometimes you stuble upon something amazing – tonight I stubled upon TEDtalks.
The annual conference 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. Almost 200 talks from their archive are available, with more added each week. The videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and reposted.
I was blown away by some of these talks and really wen’t “kid in a candy store”. I couldn’t believe all these great talks made available – and for free. There is just something about good talks that really makes learning an experience as much as a rock concert or a magic show – they move minds, souls and even hearts. I just can get enough of these.
So if you have 18 minutes to spare, go and check out a TEDtalks. I’m probably gonna post some of the talks later on, but for now JUST DO IT – GO TED.
