TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is an annual conference that defines its mission as "ideas worth spreading". The lectures, also called TED Talks, cover a broad set of topics. There is an annual membership fee of $6,000, which includes attendance of the conference, club mailings, networking tools and conference DVDs.

Some TED updates from yesterday were posted on Twitter in real time by the attendees:

  1. Pierre Omidyarpierre Tim Berners-Lee's boss' reaction to his original HTTP memo: "vague, but exciting." #TED
