LIFT talks on TED.com
After some technical problems Sugata’s speech is back online. Watch is here!
I know I know, I already talked about it extensively on the LIFT blog. But pardon me while I restate my pride to see the talks of my conference go live on the website of the world’s biggest and most inspiring event. With hundreds of thousands of viewers, TED talks is another step in the right direction for the whole LIFT community, and a huge boost for the ideas and projects of the lucky speakers who got selected.
This is a special day for me and for the whole team, a day we feel like we are doing our job of promoting discussions about the social impact of technologies a little bit better than usual ;)

Well, Laurent, maybe it’s just Murphy’s law at work, or most likely a tech problem, but unfortunately we’ve had to take down temporarily Sugata’s talk from TED.com. Apologies for that. After we released it, we have discovered a sound encoding problem that we had not identified before, and the sound ended up being of rather poor quality and detrimental to Sugata’s great talk. Our team is working on it.
My thanks to you, to Sugata, and to the whole LIFT team for the cooperation.
