Aug 1 2012: Hey, I'm 16 and I was recently introduced to this website through my grandparents. I don't have much to add to this conversation besides myself as a statistic: one more teen enjoying ted. I couldn't agree more with the opinions of Robin, Dejay, and others, though I would like to ask one more question, possibly an ignorant one from simply not spending enough time on this website. Is it possible to connect/chat with other members in a fashion alike to facebook's messaging/chat system? If ted is really the intellectual's book of faces, wouldn't it be nice to be able to create online friendships such as the ones (despite their transience) founded through facebook? Just a thought, since I'm as interested in the members of ted as the fascinating lectures posted here.
Regards, Chris. (And message me if it is a possibility-I don't know the limits of this site)
