Man they seriously need to change intro song; too loud.

[deeroks1]

it's like an intro to Star Wars every time i watch an episode. tone down the intro TED please.

[technologywired12]

why is it that the title somehow does not actually really explains the content of the video? am i wrong?

[ilovepotatos]

Not only that, but he has absolutely no charisma and public speaking ability.

Uh...uh...uh...

Crutch words are only acceptable if you're a dynamic presenter people!

I like the way he reminds me of things that are important trends. If you are in the music business (like me) I recommend that you read his excellent book The Long Tail. Also check out The Attention Economy by Davenport & Beck (Harvard Business Press).

i expected to hear something about long tail trend in technology...but this it completely different:/

or perhaps i am on the wrong track...

[MrFrankBullitt]

Nothing really groundbreaking here... in fact, nothing original.

Unfortunately I believe this man to be less interesting then the other Ted talks out there. He seems to re-iterate basic economic principles. It may be my own shortcoming, but I find this drab.

this thought was brought to you by Nestle
