Have you met TED?

One of my coworkers turned my on to the TED talks last year. They are short videos of really smart people talking about interesting things, well, sometimes the people are pretty boring. One TED talk that gotten a lot of attention lately is Clay Shirky's talk about how twitter, facebook, and text messaging has changed journalism. It is well timed to offer some prescient insights into the uprising in Iran but interesting even out of that context. The link is below, if you've got 15 minutes to kill, I recommend it as an introduction to these mediums.
