Early this morning TED’s Curator, Chris Anderson, appeared on CBS This Morning to talk about the TED Talks phenomenon, as we get close to a major milestone: one billion views.

If you weren’t awake, or don’t have access to American morning television, watch the segment right here >>

And watch for some special announcements around the one billionth view …

PS: And yes, it was odd that all the TED Talks excerpted in this segment were by, with respect, the gentlemen. After you watch the segment, may we suggest this playlist of TED Talks about science, math and engineering from women scientists and writers.
