Hello, I'm Jinyong Chung, a.k.a. ShoongShoong.
Hello, I'm Wonki Min.
Are there any iPhone owners out there,
and can you hold it up please?
I'm sure we are being recorded right now.
Wow, there are a lot of you, cool.
Thanks.
Anyone out there downloaded the TED player app?
Wow, great, thanks.
Yes, we are here to share with you
our experience developing the TED player.
Six months ago, we came together for the first time for an iPhone study,
and were motivated to develop a cool application for it.
Around the same time, we became aware of TED and all its cool content.
When we tried to view the videos on our mobile phones,
it was not so easy.
So we waited for someone to create an app.
Music please.
(Laughter)
Wondergirls will speak for us now.
(Singing) Nobody, nobody,
nobody came up with one.
So just like the Wondergirls
(Applause)
say at the end of the chorus of this song,
"Nobody but you!"
We ended up making it ourselves.
We put our hearts and mind together
and came up with the first TED player as our first project.
You can download TED videos on your iPhone,
and there's the subtitle function; two functions in fact.
But the reaction was great.
We received 180 re-tweets within 6 hours.
That day was pure euphoria.
(Laughter)
It was my first time experiencing such a joy.
Our app has been downloaded 1 6,000 times around the globe.
It was an application that we ourselves wanted
(Laughter)
developed based on our own needs
and enjoyed by others.
How awesome is that?
So we decided to develop more.
It is called TEDxSeoul event application.
Has anyone downloaded it yet?
Wow... Thank you again.
On this app, instead of TEDx Talks only,
we added information about speakers in today's event,
and Twitter information about TEDxSeoul;
we jammed it all in a single application.
This is our second project.
After developing two applications, we received a ton of feedback.
The most popular feedback was, "Is there any app for Android?"
There was an overwhelming request.
So, finally, we will be introducing the TED Player for Android.
(Applause)
On July 30th, the Samsung App Store within T Store
will have ready for you the TED Player for Android phones.
It will not only include the existing functions
but will also display videos from various TEDx conferences in Korea.
The three applications we developed
was by no means on our minds 6 months ago when we first met.
Honestly, back then...
(Applause)
we never dreamed things would end up this way.
Yes, it was beyond our imagination.
We had no idea we'd be on this stage today.
So, these days, we are getting a lot of inquiries
on how to develop applications similar to the TED player one
that can play videos and other content beside TED content,
and under CC licenses.
So many in fact that we're stressed.
So that's our brief history in the last six months.
We are here to share with you
the thought that if you have great ideas, don't keep it to yourself,
but share them with as many people as you can.
If you have no one to share them with, you can share them with us
and thus begin your own stories.
Thank you.
(Applause)
