Web 2.0 creates a niche for a new semantic web agent to pick the best of the best of worldwide conference podcasting. What a great idea from a Bruno Giussani's article about a new trend in our digital life:
This burgeoning of conference podcasting worldwide suggests a few thoughts:Posted by Bruno Giussani in Lunch over IP on April 16, 2007
* One: great ideas and knowledge are now shared freely as never before, available for people to use and share: I've heard of teachers using talks as part of their syllabus; corporate managers burning them on CDs and giving them to their staff or using them during team retreats; etc.
* Two: all of those conferences seem to be doing it for the same reason: TED believes "in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world"; Pop!Tech's Zolli (quote above) talks about "harnessing the power of visionary ideas" to "build a better world"; LIFT's goal is to "connect people (...) and propel their conversations into the broader world to improve life and work".
* Three: the multiplication of conference videos may open a niche for a meta-curator role, picking the best of the best.

Dear Friends of TED,
Tomorrow at 9am US East Coast time, we're announcing the launch of our new website, taking TED's mission to a new level. The announcement is copied below.
I wanted to give you a heads up that the site is already live, and if you have a moment, I'd really value your help on two things:
- create a PROFILE on the new site (including a picture). It shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.
- post ONE comment on a talk. It doesn't have to be profound. Just an honest reaction.
When this site opens to the world tomorrow, we'd love it to look alive and welcoming. We'd love new visitors to get a sense of what the TED community is. The early tone may shape the site for a long time to come, so your help now will have a powerful knock-on effect.
I also hope you find this a powerful resource for exploring some of the TED Talks you may have missed, and for sharing TED with others. Do please begin that process as soon as the announcement goes live... with blog posts, emailing, etc.
Thank you, and enjoy!
- Chris Anderson, TED Curator
