Top 10 TEDTalks of all time

Really good montage of the 10 most popular TEDTalks.

Counting down the Top 10 TEDTalks

"With 50 million views since we debuted online two years ago, TED talks have become a powerful cultural force.

To celebrate this milestone, we're releasing a never-before-seen list: the Top 10 TED talks 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. Links to all 10 talks are found below -- or browse through our Top 10 TED Talks Theme. Even if you've seen all the talks, the highlights video is darn fun."

TED: Ideas worth spreading - today, Oceanographer - David Gallo

This is well worth a dive in (as you will see).



Whilst I've known about TED (no, not Father Ted which I'll cover in due course) for 9 months or so, I remain amazed as the the utterly diverse content/output of the TED Annual Conference's in Monterey, California.

TED = Technology, Entertainment, Design "is an invitation-only event where the world's leading thinkers and doers gather to find inspiration". If you've never seen the TED website before, you MUST go and check it out.



Early this morning, I watched this amazing (short in TED terms) presentation by Oceanographer, David Gallo.

About this Talk

David Gallo shows jaw-dropping footage of amazing sea creatures, including a shape-shifting cuttlefish, a pair of fighting squid, and a mesmerizing gallery of bioluminescent fish that light up the blackest depths of the ocean. He focuses on the work of two scientists: Edith Widder at the Ocean Research & Conservation Association, and Roger Hanlon at the Marine Biological Lab.

THE FILE CONTAINS SUBTITLES SO THAT'S GREAT FOR NON HEARING VIEWERS.
