When TED Talks, everybody listens

This really has nothing to do with Israel per se, except that (my future boyfriend) Sagi posted about it on his Venture Capitalism blog . . . but, hey, if Sagi is excited about it, I’m excited about it.

TED talks is one of the (if not the) must see programs on the net.

What is TED?

TED is a once-in-a-year event that brings together 1000 of the worlds thought leaders to discuss issues of Technology, Entertainment, and Design (hence TED). Most of us will never have a chance to attend this event in person (purely due to the numbers… nothing else I promise). But we can now all virtually attend (at least view) it – thanks to TED Talks, who have put online the speeches that have taken place at TED over the last years.

I have watched all episodes shared so far – and they are really thought provoking. (I try to watch one every night before I go to sleep, through Democracy player, in full screen, connected to my TV). Usually after this my mind works overtime, and I can’t really fall asleep (that’s why I’m always late to work in the mornings… Well – at least most of the time)

TED Talks
According to Sagi, each presentation is around 20 minutes long. See his “top 5 must see list” here.
