Day 1,  (part 1)

The day begins with TED University - which is truly a collaborate community effort.  Each year various TEDsters (that's folks who've been to TED a few times or a lot)  volunteer to teach these very short informational sessions.  They vary - from obscure to trivial to deep.  But it's a little like an appetizer before the main meal -  they whet your appetite and get you started thinking about the world in new ways.

So,  why is Magnify.net represented at TED?  The answer is surprisingly simple. Magnify.net is built to power the evolution of TV from push technology owned by a handful of media companies to the fast growing number of niches and micro-niches that currently exist as web sites.  Magnify.net is building a web video publishing platform that is ideally suited for TED's idea sharing ecosystem.

So - here we are.

Tons of folks that we like,  respect,  and follow are here. Hanging out with Scott Heiferman,  Caterina Fake,  Andrew Blau,  David Rose,  Seth Godin,  and a ton more folks...  i'll work on blogging about the TED talks over the next few days - and i'll try and synthesize the overall feelings and ideas that are floating in the air... more  shortly -
