Feb 15 2011: Not sure about the VIP thing, but the site should definitely accept recommendations. Uploaded videos could be quickly reviewed by volunteers and further validated before being accepted for viewing for the general public to see. The same way TEDx is differentiated from TED events, these videos could be made available with clear distinction that they are not curated by the site but approved by WebTEDsters.
Feb 15 2011: I love games. Actually, I tried to course my life to end up into the game industry. I still get to play a lot, and I still enjoy it... but sometimes is really hard to explain to others your experiences about gaming in general. I would like non-gamers to know more than everything that there are LOTS of games, more than the ones that made them decide at some point in their lives that games are boring, violent, hard, complex, ugly or just plain uninteresting... I completely confident that if you individually guide non-gamers into the experience, they will find something they like and enjoy. So that's it, be patient with your non-gamer friends and family, and if you have the time, think about their lives experiences and point them in the right direction.
Feb 13 2010: This talk is from TED2010, thursday actually. Blaise has another talk in TED.com showing Seadragon and Photosynth but that was back in TED2007. This new demo shows the work done by Microsoft Research integrating Seadragon technology into Bing's web applications.
Feb 11 2010: It was great to watch this talk live via-webcast. Jamie's talk is one of the most passionate talks I've seen in a long time, you just can't help being engaged by it.
