• A comment on Conversation: As a TEDx organizers I wish there were this feature on ted.com/tedx. Please propose a suggestion or an idea around future functionality.

  Jun 15 2012: I wish if there's a task list or something published in the event site which we can volunteer to accomplish. I'm living in Tokyo and I contacted organizers of TEDx events asking if there's anything I can do but I was never asked to do anything which I would be very happy to do.

  A comment on Conversation: As a trilingual or bilingual, what role does language play in the creation of your identity? Which language do you think in?

  Jan 12 2012: I'm trilingual and I find myself thinking in all three languages. It can get interesting and also sometimes it can get annoying when I speak, because sometimes I tend to mix all three. But I believe each language makes us express ourselves in a totally different manner. However, I don't like myself to be identified with a certain language or languages, because for me identity is something to do with my morals and values not the languages I speak.

• A comment on Conversation: Why isn't TED also a Television station? Couldn't it either make a lot of money, or support a lot of wishes?

  Dec 15 2011: Since the day I first watched TED talks. I was wondering why I didn't see these types of talks on TV when I was growing up. I really believe TED can do more if it's on TV, maybe not as a channel but as one segment on a channel.
