Just announced earlier this week, TED will open their API which allows third parties to access the great talks from their conferences without having to visit their website.
http://blog.ted.com/2011/03/13/announced-at-sxsw-ted-to-open-api/TED Talks are also available on YouTube and as a podcast on iTunes, but ever since I started browsing the TED site a few years ago and fell in love with the talks, I have wanted a way to sit in front of my TV and browse the tags and themes as if they were channels. Hopefully this will allow that dream to come true!
