Welcome TED.com's 10,000th member
This week marks the one-year anniversary of TEDTalks — a year ago this Wednesday, our first five talks went live on TED.com. Since that time, more than 5 million people have seen a TEDTalk, either via TED.com, on this blog, through our video partners such as Google Video and YouTube — or through re-posting on another blog. Truly, these are ideas worth spreading.
And today, we’re set to welcome our 10,000th TED.com member. As of this minute, we’re at user number 9,996, and probably within the next hour, someone will be the 10,000th person to join our free online community of people who want to learn and share new ideas. Welcome all!

Jun 29 2007Very cool. I still can’t believe I’m among the first 10,000 – the first year of the widespread era of TED. And an era it is – I predict this conference becoming one of the best known phenomena around, within several years.

Jun 29 2007@Emily McManus: Yeah, I discovered that one worked in the end and after some additional attempts, but it was directly linked to the blog.ted subdomain some of the first times used :). Thought it was fun with the reference to Ze Frank’s video.
Thanks for the photo comment, but it is a slightly edited photo of me among the 2k bloggers (blogged here): http://andersabrahamsson.typepad.com/blog/2007/02/this_blog_from_.html and link here http://www.2kbloggers.com/photo-montage/ – art of faces, a sister-in-spirit to http://www.twitterfaces.com, right?
@Neil Jordan: If TED moves from a closed event to an open space maybe complimentary to add TEDOpen? – I am convinced it has the gravity it can truly change the collaborative course of history. In fact.
So, no wonder I contribute mostly to “The Rise of Collaboration” theme. No one can change the world alone, and we begin with changing ourselves!
Peace,
Anders
