Dear Chris,
I've been following TED.com for two years now and I think it's the coolest. My all-time favorite is still Ken Robinson's take on creativity --that schools have been possibly killing it. His message is surprising and his delivery is the most fun (which is rather besides the point since all your materials are fun to follow). I've heard of this popular design wisdom, that "form follows function". If 'messages' have their forms, I guess TED is definitely the right design for them.
I think the idea of presenting 1000 speakers at one event to share (and follow-up) their ideas are noble at the very least. And to have them available online for free is just kindness on a whole new level. And I'm sure that I'm not the only one to think so.
Now that I think of it, it isn't merely kindness behind you people, is it? So whatever business models you take/make, I hope we learn about it very soon.
Looking forward to listening more of TED. I wish you no luck, since, the way things are going for you, I don't think you'll be needing any.
Sincerely yours,
adih
PS: I don't think I'll make it to TED India next year (though I really want to)
