/C O R R E C T I O N — TED/

NEW YORK, March 4, 2011 - In the news release, TED's Ads Worth Spreading Announces Winners, issued
March 3, 2011 by TED over PR Newswire, we are advised by a representative of
the company that the tenth bullet under the heading "The 10 winning Ads Worth
Spreading", should read "Batelco: "Infinity" — FP7/BAH, Bahrain" rather than
"Batelco: "Infinity" — FP7/DXB, Bahrain" as originally issued inadvertently.
The complete, corrected release follows:

- First-time TED challenge honors year's most compelling advertising;
uncovers riveting content, immersive engagement, long-form storytelling

- Chrysler, Nokia, Intel, The Savory Institute and Nike Foundation are
among the top 10 winners to be showcased at TED2011, on TED.com and
YouTube.com

TED (www.ted.com), the nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading,
today announces from the TED2011 conference stage the 10 winners of the
inaugural Ads Worth Spreading challenge. The winners, selected from more than
1,000 submissions from around the world, represent some of the most creative,
compelling and out-of-the-box communications of the past year. They embody a
new paradigm for advertising creative, pushing the boundaries on what will
move audiences and spur action by embracing longer-form storytelling as
advertising.

The Ads Worth Spreading challenge was designed to solicit the
best-in-class ads that raise the bar, elevate the craft and invent new forms
of engagement, both online and in general. In an effort to surface this
year's most gripping ads, TED asked people to submit videos that would move
viewers to laughter, to tears, to take action, to want to watch and,
ultimately, to share with friends.

"We're seeking to reverse the trend of ads being aggressively forced on
users. We want to nurture ads so good you choose to watch — and share. On
TED.com, ads run after our talks, not before. As well as avoiding the
annoyance of interruption, this positioning means they can run longer than
the TV-standard 30-seconds. And that's the key," said TED Curator Chris
Anderson. "In 2-3 minutes, there's more time to tell a story, share an idea,
make an authentic human connection. These winning ads, many of them
long-form, powerfully demonstrate these strengths. We think they represent an
exciting new way for companies to engage with the world in the internet age."

TED was supported by YouTube on this challenge to solicit and review
submissions, in addition to further showcase the winning ads via YouTube.com.
Entrants submitted videos, varying in length from 30 seconds to 5 minutes,
within four categories: Social Good, Infectiously Compelling, Industry Impact
and Talk (based on the TEDTalks videos). The winning entries were not ranked
or categorized, as TED sought to encourage as much creativity and innovation
as possible.

"Ads Worth Spreading was a TED initiative that we felt aligned perfectly
with our advertising philosophy — there should be ads which people seek out,
want to watch, and spread more broadly," said Eric Meyerson, YouTube's video
business marketing lead. "YouTube and TED both share the same vision of
challenging notions of what people want to watch and share online. We're
thrilled that TED is thinking of ads as a part of the greater cultural
landscape and encouraging creativity within it. TED, and Chris Anderson, are
amazing advocates for the power of online video in general."

A unique and diverse judging panel made up of 24 digital video artists,
filmmakers, designers, advertising creative chiefs, media agency leaders,
journalists, producers, thought leaders and TEDsters reviewed the submissions
to cull down the entries to a Top 10 Winners list and 14 Honorable Mentions.
The judging system for Ads Worth Spreading was graciously hosted by AICP and
Nice Spots. One-third of the entries came from outside of the U.S., across a
wide variety of brands and causes.

"Our hope is that TED.com becomes an incubator for new forms of
advertising, a beta platform, a world-stage for creatives to push the
envelope for meaningful online engagement," said Ronda Carnegie, Head of
Global Partnerships at TED. "We've all come across that one ad that moves us
to watch over and over again, to share it with friends. We think every ad
should strive for that. We want the industry to tap into and amplify peoples'
passions instead of ambushing them — to create content you can respect –
and that's exactly the type of riveting engagement we found from our winners.
It has been truly inspiring, and we look forward to continuing this new
dialogue on what advertising can be, and should be, in the future."

About TED

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started
as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support
those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world's
leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18
minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have
included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson,
Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and
former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each
year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California
(along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal
is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.

TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted
daily; the new TED Conversations, enabling broad conversations among TED
fans; and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and
interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be
translated by volunteers worldwide.

TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals
with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes
into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local,
self-organized events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, helping
world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED
community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects
and activities.

TED2011, "The Rediscovery of Wonder," will be held February 28-March 4,
2011, in Long Beach, California, along with the TEDActive simulcast in Palm
Springs, California. TEDGlobal 2011, "The Stuff of Life," will be held July
11-15, 2011, in Edinburgh, Scotland.
