Government sponsered TED Talks

This is too interesting not to mention. The State Department under Secretary of State Clinton is hosting the first government sponsored TED Talks (Read some details on the White House Blog). Along with fora.tv TED Talks is one of my favorite outlets on the net. It is an annual conference that aims that offers some of the brightest people around a platform to share their ideas. If you haven't heard of it you owe it to yourself to set aside a few minutes (the talks are all under twenty minutes i believe) to listen to something different and interesting. So Bravo to Madam Secretary for partnering with the great minds of the country. This kind of partnership gives much reason for optimism about our general state of affairs.
