The folks behind the annual TED conference have launched a new video/audio archive featuring big ideas from speakers who've participated in the event. Jason Wishnow from TED says, "I recommend you start with names you DON'T already know – Ken Robinson and Hans Rosling are among my all-time favorites. Give them three minutes and you'll see exactly why."
All content is free and available in multiple formats (Flash, QuickTime, MP4, MP3 audio) and online locations (TED.com, TEDBlog (via VideoEgg), iTunes, GoogleVideo, RSS feeds…). Jason explains:
They're being released under a creative commons license, so other sites are free to re-post them, in their entirety (for non-commercial purposes). And check out the video-search function (on Windows or OS X 10.4+). Try searching for "South Bronx" or "carbon neutral".
We're launching with 6 inspired presentations: Al Gore's sage advice on living a carbon-neutral life, Hans Rosling's inspired interpretation of global statistics, Ken Robinson's vision for an education system that values creativity; Majora Carter's commitment to environmental justice; Tony Robbins' roadmap for reaching your potential; and David Pogue's software-inspired show tunes.
