One of the cool thing about working with clients is that they often turn you on to some interesting web tools, even if they’ve been right under your nose for years. This week I was talking with three colleagues who pointed me to the TEDTalks video site – so I’d like to take you there, too.
TED, of course, is the nonprofit organization devoted to ideas worth spreading from three creative worlds: Technology, Entertainment, and Design. Since its first gathering in 1984, the TED Conference has grown to a twice annual event - the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer. Going beyond mere conferences, however, TED now includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize. That’s a lot of TED!
The TEDTalks video collection is an eclectic set of some of the most creative, funny and interesting minds in the world… all delivering provocative messages to your desktop. Authors, inventors, CEOs, politicians, you name it – you can find them here. From Malcolm Gladwell to Al Gore to Steve Jobs, there’s bound to be an interesting video that will spark your team’s imagination and open up some compelling conversations.
If you’re looking for a short video clip to add to your next presentation, all-hands or offsite, check out TEDTalks. Be sure to carve out an hour to browse the site – you’ll need it!
