In your experience, what did you find to work best for promoting TED to people who were unlikely to be TED fans?

Methods and approaches that you used successfully to open the minds of people who were not likely or even resistant to have tried TED on their own.

    Feb 16 2011: In my personal experience, I believe by sharing the link of interesting TED talk with them, works better. Almost, everyone I personally recommended to watch a particular talk, replied me, saying thanks and they loved it. It is really a contagious. And they glad that they have something amazing to share with their friend.

    And I repeat it. It contagious.

      Feb 17 2011: I have tried that, and in my experience it was a hit and miss. Usually, people are so busy that it is hard for them to put aside the average 20 minutes of a TED talk. They put it the talk on hold, planning to watch it later until they forget about it. :(
