TED: The First 21st Century University?
summary
TED puts video online for free in 2006 and watches it scale: 700 talks online, 300 million views, conference fees rise 50% to $6,000 and sell out with a 1,000-person waiting list. A production pipeline (multi‑camera, tight shots, Flash/MP4/YouTube, Creative Commons) plus outreach via email, Twitter and embeds drives distribution. Open projects include volunteer subtitles (10,000 translations in 78 languages by 4,000 volunteers) and 1,300 TEDx events in 98 countries, proving the model works.
