TED Talks is a non-profit foundation most known for its conferences. The conferences were designed to bring people together from three different worlds: Technology, Entertainment, and Design. The lectures, or "ideas worth spreading", are disseminated on the Internet for everyone to enjoy.
Some of the more prominent speakers include Steve Jobs, JK Rowling, Bono, Richard Branson, James Cameron, Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, and Al Gore.
The public can subscribe to TED Talks via RSS Feed or through iTunes Podcasts
