Al Gore and Hans Rosling speech online on TEDTalks, a must-see

Posted at 17:51 | | 2 Comments

The two best talks I have ever seen at TED and probably in all the conferences I went were Al Gore's on the future of our planet and Hans Rosling's on globalization and how we should welcome it. Both speeches changed my "worldview" and are now available on TEDTalks. Hans Rosling pushes us to think as world citizens who should be happy about the fact that so many countries and world citizens get a descent level of living even though it means often some job losses in our "rich" countries. Must see. If you haven't I really advise you to see both. Congrats to TED for sharing that with all of us.

Rosling's talk is fantastic--I can't imagine a better 18-minute presentation on his topic. Extremely welle executed.

Before watching these videos and the others on TED's website, it was difficult for me to understand your excitment about this conference. Now I get it. I can understand why you were moved by all these wonderful presenters. I particularly appreciated this little magical moment during Tony Robbins' presentation with Al Gore. Sir Ken Robinson is so funny that you are wondering why this guy didn't start a career as a comedian.

Welcome to my blog. Based in San Francisco, I am an entrepreneur and a blogger. I just started my fifth startup, Seesmic, a community driven video social software. Here is what TechCrunch says about it.

I am blogging every day a video on loic.tv about (almost) everything I do as I start Seesmic, I also constantly post short thoughts to twitter and often my pictures on Flickr.

I also organize every year in Paris the conference LeWeb3 that gathers more than a thousand bloggers and entrepreneurs from 40 countries on Dec 11 and 12.

If you would like to learn more, here is a bio, my LinkedIn profile, my wikipedia pages in english and french. Sometimes they are subject to changes that do not always reflect what I consider the truth but that is the principle.
