Ignite was first started in Seattle and it happens every quarter here with a huge turnout. The talks are partly entertaining, partly inspiring, partly food for thought. It is very hard to speak when the slide moves automatically every 15 seconds. Not all talks are great, but some are really good: there is one about lego, and another about how a guy found success building an iphone app (videos should be there on ignite site). It is definitely not TED, it is a light-hearted gathering of geeks who share, through Ignite, what they are passionate about in 5 minutes. Regards, Divya
