Clay Shirky on Institutions vs. Collaboration
This video is now a half decade old - but is still every bit as revolutionary now as it was then.

Janine Benyus on biomimicry in action (TED Tuesday)
Welcome to TED Tuesdays on the blog. Each Tuesday, I will post a video from TED with a little commentary from me on why I think it's worth sharing.
I thought I would kick off 2010 with a little science. It has always occurred to me that there were solutions to many of our problems all around us - but I have never seen this demonstrated as effectively as it is here.

Rory Sutherland on Life lessons from an ad man (TED Tuesday)
Welcome to TED Tuesdays on the blog. Each Tuesday, I will post a video from TED with a little commentary from me on why I think it's worth sharing. I don't want to compete with TED itself, so I'll be reaching back several months for these.
For this last TED Tuesday post in 2009, I thought it would be nice to lighten things up a bit. This hilarious presentation by ad-man Rory Sutherland is a nice counter to the sometimes overwhelming topics covered in TED Talks.
There's also a GREAT Canadian advertising story about 2/3rds the way through...

ShareIs Gordon Brown as brilliant as he seems?
I'm watching a very recent TEDtalk (that will appear in a future TEDtuesday) where Chris Anderson interviews British Prime Minister Gordon Brown about global ethics and global citizenship.
All I can say is WOW. If this guy is serious and isn't just blowing TEDsmoke, he's an outright revolutionary...
Is this the real Gordon Brown? Is he as much a revolutionary world leader as this interview suggests?
