The annual ted conference invites leading thinkers to speak about their worldchanging projects in front of a highly influential audience. Ted. com turns those very big ideas into highly
accessible and portable video packages that meet the diverse technical needs of a worldwide audience. The site's video player uses chapter marking that lets users navigate a talk by topic, not
just by minutes and seconds. Visitors not only get profile pages for posting and commenting on ideas, they also get a generous menu of options for sending or downloading videos and porting them
to everything from iPods to set-top boxes. Because it anticipates and serves the digital needs of a worldwide audience, ted.com's adaptable technology makes it easier to think big.
