TED Link Monitor

Right now, the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference is going on in Long Beach, California. As is the case with many conferences these days attendees are Tweeting (posting to Twitter) the event. Twitter has become the unofficial back-channel. Sometimes they link to things a speaker is talking about or other useful links.

There is a LOT of TED traffic on Twitter and I like to catch the links that float by. There is also redundancy because people ‘retweet’ things. So, I built a twitter search that filters as much of that as I could then pushed it through a Yahoo! Pipe to get a nice RSS feed of all the links posted. If you want to subscribe, you can copy and past this link into your RSS reader of choice:

UPDATE 11:41 AM 2/7/2009:

I have also built a BIL Link Monitor if you want to follow that conference as well.
