More Cool Stuff You Didn’t Know about TED Talks
Interestingly enough Wake Forest University has a TED talks watching party every Wednesday for lunch. How cool!!! This is a great way to connect online content with off line community (I’m curious how the crowd for each TED talks changes or how they coordinate the calendar for the viewing of the talks).

If I was on a college campus, ran a library, or another place with people thinking and acting on social change issues–it would be a lot of fun to start a TED viewing party/brown bag activity like this. What do you think about this idea?

Finally, someone has compiled a spreadsheet of all the TED talks so that you can have a different interface to pick and choose which TED talks to watch.
