(I’ve been watching TED videos on my iPod Touch instead of the web-site all year so the stars may have left awhile back.) After finishing the video, I clicked rate and the following popped up:

On this screen you have three clicks to use any way that you’d like.  You can spread them across three different items, load them all up on one item or use less that all three.  When finished, a heat map is displayed which I found more valuable than the typical star graph. In fact, I noticed that those same terms were used in the description of the video.  Very clever!ted-heatmap
