TEDs mission Spreading ideas.

  change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the
  world. So what they're building here is a
  clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and
  inspiration from the world's most inspired
  thinkers, and also a community of curious souls
  to engage with ideas and each other.
