TEDTalks as of 06.16.11
- weinzierl 15y agoMy friends love TED Talks and I thought I share the spreadsheet on Facebook. I was surprised that Facebook considers the link spammy and would not let me.
- staktrace 15y agoAwesome! My favourite of the ones I've watched so far is #97.
- makeramen 15y agoLove TED talks for the amount of information that is freely available to anyone with an internet connection. Alot of it isn't terribly useful, but just knowing what kind of amazing things the top minds in the world are thinking about and working on is a great way to remind ourselves what is really going on in the rest of the world outside of our current social bubbles.
- andreyf 15y agoI love TED talks, but I'm not sure what to do with such a list without a sort-by-something...
- dlsspy 15y agoAgreed, a download is most useful to me. I'd rather play with the data.
- joedogboi 15y agoI created a CSV version. Will that help? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/70442/TedTalks.csv?dl=1 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/70442/TedTalks.csv?dl=1 edit: I've noticed some slight errors, but they should be easily fixed. It was a quick copy paste job, and a quick edit in TextMate to remove extraneous rows. Sorry about that. If I had the time I'd clean it up nice. Maybe someone else would like to.
- dlsspy 15y agoThis is great, thanks. I put it in revise and did a tiny bit of cleanup, but nothing worth really publishing.

- spoiledtechie 15y agoLove this spread sheet!!! Who ever built, keep it up! There is just something so simple as a spreadsheet instead of tons of useless graphics especially when you already know and love the product.
- lpolovets 15y agoIt's low on the list, but my favorite is: Ric Elias: 3 things I learned while my plane crashed (http://www.ted.com/talks/ric_elias.html http://www.ted.com/talks/ric_elias.html) "Ric Elias had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York in January 2009. What went through his mind as the doomed plane went down? At TED, he tells his story publicly for the first time."
- ecaron 15y agoIt is still really disappointing that TED never released the Sarah Silverman talk (http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/15/the-ted-v-sarah-silverman-fight-turns-really-retarded/ http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/15/the-ted-v-sarah-silverman-f...). Isn't it their purpose to expose the ideas, and ours to contemplate them?
- newhouseb 15y agoYeah but TED talks are _heavily_ edited from how they appear live on stage. TED puts an insane amount of effort into making the talks appear fluid and this is subconsciously I think partly why TED has been successful (everyone seems inhumanely perfect and articulate). If a TED talk bombs, it can be tricky to edit it into a coherent whole - I can imagine this is doubly hard with a comedian because timing is so important. Source: I bombed a TED talk at TED 2011 in long beach. But I'm only 22 so hopefully I'll have a chance to do it again right in the future :)
- younata 15y agoon computer vision? (judging from your profile) Any chance it's up so that we can see how it was edited?
- newhouseb 15y agoindirectly, yeah (http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/03/60024/ http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/03/60024/). It's not up yet (despite all my testing/preparation the WiFi didn't really work so it was a little rough) - not sure if it will go up, I guess we'll known before TED 2012 :)`

- joshu 15y agoI dunno, lots of the talks are stellar in person too... People practice a lot before they are allowed to go on.
- younata 15y agoAll the links (Disclaimer: I didn't test all of them) go to http://www.ted.com/talks/al_gore_on_averting_climate_crisis.html http://www.ted.com/talks/al_gore_on_averting_climate_crisis.... which happens to be the first video in the list.
- ww520 15y agoChannel 264 in topchan.tv is for the TED videos. You can watch all of them one after another. http://www.topchan.tv/show/public1/264 http://www.topchan.tv/show/public1/264
- JacobIrwin 15y agoThank you! One of my favorites: http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/1153 http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/1153

- younata 15y agoI wrote a script to do that for you. [1] (and am having my server download the first fifty listed in the xml file). I'd like to point out that there's a little bit under a thousand talks, so I highly recommend you only download a few videos at a time. (each video is about 40 mebibytes. [2] Roughly 40 gigs of video.) [1] http://pastebin.com/RXzTpbGt http://pastebin.com/RXzTpbGt [2] Average obtained by downloading 50 videos, and averaging those. Edit: fixed bug in script.
- fs111 15y ago"Download 'em all" for firefox supports metalink, no need for a script
- maverhick 15y agoDoes anyone know of a way to keep synching all the TED videos as and when they are uploaded? My goal is to maintain a local copy on my machine so that I can view them whenever I like. Any downloaders that can do the job?
- jamesgagan 15y agoi can't help but feel that ted is all about the elite talking down to the rest of us.
- DaveChild 15y agoThe sixth of tetradecember?
- tnorthcutt 15y agoTED talks sorted by "engagement": http://goo.gl/zFAp7 http://goo.gl/zFAp7
- philjr 15y agoI just knew someone else would have done this when I looked at the original story, that was the first thing I thought was missing - some context as to which ones are popular. Awesome!
- rmk 15y agoThis spreadsheet is gone. Google says its might have been deleted by the owner.
- tnorthcutt 15y agoIs it still gone for you? I just checked and can see it.
- maeon3 15y agoI watched 10 of them from 2011 and this is my favorite: Online Filter bubbles. How people are becoming increasingly segregated, intellectually from the whole content of the web: http://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles.html http://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bu... edit, and: http://www.ted.com/talks/angela_belcher_using_nature_to_grow_batteries.html http://www.ted.com/talks/angela_belcher_using_nature_to_grow...
- marilyn 15y agoThere is another spreadsheet, I just discovered via reddit, that also includes PostRank engagement rankings: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=tWri7T3f4Ex6-uVU8i9-FFQ&type=view&gid=0&f=true&sortcolid=10&sortasc=false&rowsperpage=250 https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=tWri7T3f4... *It takes a while to load.
- lazylland 15y agoWhy is it so difficult to make a private copy of this spreadsheet ? There are no download links, or an easy way in Google Spreadsheet to copy a document via URL !?!!
