Why TED talks are so unique

TED talks are ideas...propose an original proposition, insight, or punchline...a revelation more than simply a topic.
TED talks need to be something closer to a performance; sculpted for entertainment, emotional, with a narrative ebb-and-flow; a "journey" [not] simply impart[ing] information

speakers [are] extremely good talkers... extremely passionate about their subjects

you have to learn a TED talk off by heart – no teleprompter, no flash cards, and very limited slides. 

If a piece of your talk was well written, logical, and had a good flow, you would be able to remember it... If something's hard to memorise, don't even try; just rewrite it. This is a sign that it's a weak section of the talk
