TED Top Ten Best Talks

This video compiles the ten most popular talks from the TED platform. Their description of the clip follows:

'With 50 million views since we started posting video two years ago, TEDTalks have become a powerful cultural force.

To celebrate this milestone, we're releasing a never-before-seen list: the Top 10 TEDTalks of all time, as of June 2008.

With speakers like neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor and global health expert Hans Rosling, the list proves one of the compelling ideas behind TEDTalks: that an unknown speaker with a powerful idea can reach -- and move -- a global audience through the power of quality web video... Even if you've seen them all, the highlights video...is darn fun.'

i disagree that the were the best

[globalismfilms]

@screenflicker1 I'm sure many others would too. They were the 10 most popular on the TED site. I felt that the video would act as a good introduction for those that were new to TED and that it would hopefully encourage them to find out more.

Haha, the only things Mr.Al Gore mixed up is the rootcause and the symptom. Warmth was first, then CO2 went up, and not the opposite way as he presented. The complete CO2 emission control is just a good practice (but costs us some billion dollars) to keep poor countries to be poor in the future too.
