Last week, we unveiled the incredible speaker lineup for TED2013, themed “The Young. The Wise. The Undiscovered.” And, judging by the steady stream of tweets ever since, you are very excited to see a wide variety of the 70 speakers who’ll be taking the stage in Long Beach from February 25 through March 1.
Here are some of the Twitter highlights.

Reblogged this on Reine's Organized Chaos and commented:
I can’t believe I’ll have the opportunity to attend TEDActive!!! Being there will make all the difference! And I’m more interested in the “undiscovered” speakers, those we might be hearing for the first time! Those will be my extreme “wow” moments! :)
February 24 can’t come soon enough!
