Ideas Worth Spreading

"Ideas Worth Spreading"  That's the tag line of TED.  I visit this site regularly and subscribe to their new videos feed.

What is TED?  They say it best on their About Ted page:

"TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader."

"The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes)."

I'll share some of the talks that I have enjoyed. First up is Seth Godin. The man is a genius and thinks in ways that makes me feel stupid.  He's an animated presenter and gifted story teller. I like how he keeps his slides simple and uses the 4 colors that relate to his first slide.
