Welcome, OC TEDsters

Want to hear new ideas from the top minds in the world? What better way to fight the recession than to learn from the top people in their field telling you their best ideas?

TED = Technology Entertainment Design. It's a yearly conference featuring the top leaders and intellectual minds in the world. Each are given 18 minutes to share their best new ideas. You can check out www.ted.com for more info.

UPDATE:
I'd like to thank those of you that joined the group. Unfortunately for most people it was just too late of notice to attend this year's webcast. I plan to hold a TED meetup next year with much more notice and preparation, so please look for it. Next year's TED will focus much more on the recession and what to do about it, so that will be very much needed by all I think.

PLEASE NOTE: Today TED has a FREE 2 hour webcast at 5pm PST. Just go to www.ted.com to watch it.

You can also grab past TEDcasts on ted.com, Youtube.com, and itunes. Every day they post a new 18 minute presentation on ted.com. It's easier to sort which videos you're looking for on ted.com via the numerous filters they have. You can learn a lot, it's a great habit!
