I have attended TED for the last few years and am continually in awe of the speakers and the ideas that come out of this amazing experience. It's tough to convey the experience to friends and colleagues -- the brain-frying, emotion-charged, innovation jump-starter that is TED.
But now, some of it can be experienced online. TED and BMW have just launched TEDTalks: audio and video presentations of some of the key moments of TED2006. Go to the TEDBlog now and get watching. There are feeds for both the audio and video or you can watch them right there.
OMG .. I can't even stand it. I'm so excited. One of my fav speakers ... Sir Ken Robinson (funny and an amazing storyteller) ... is included below. Are you watching it? Do it! NOW! Also, go to the TEDBlog and see the others that have been posted so far: Al Gore (a great preview of An Inconvenient Truth), Majora Carter (incredible young woman who is transforming the South Bronx), Tony Robbins (even more impactful than I imagined), and Hans Rosling (really cool information visualization)..
