About

TED is a project of the Sapling Foundation http://www.wiserearth.org/organization/view/11a6d17f693719e2f072df38b5a92937    which is a 501c3 non-profit organization.

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).

This site makes the best talks and performances from TED available to the public, for free. Almost 200 talks from our archive are now available, with more added each week. These videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and reposted.

Hahaha so now wonder. Thanks for sharing that. Well anyways, its also today's featured org, but most likely there won't be similar exceptions in the future.

Oh. I just realized there is a problem in adding TED talks as resources. BMW funds the publication of talks and tacks an ad on at the end of every talk. This would violate the no commercial ads policy. Geez... if there was an exception though, this would be it. The speakers are typically perfectly in line with the mission of WE.

I hope we can figure out a way to import all the talks as resources from TED to WE. I sent an email to June to figure out how we can cooperate.

I was surprised TED wasn't on here already...But now I see why...I just realized that its a LLC, which means technically it shouldn't be on WE. But, TED is more of a conference that definitely is worthy of recognition, and has a website which offers free videos of the talks.

I'm addicted to TED! I'm glad to see it's finally represented here.
