TEDx Tel Aviv – Monday, April 26 2010

TED requires no introduction. Technology, Entertainment, Design has been synonymous with THE EVENT, to which everyone wants to attend. At $2,000 per ticket it’s out of reach for most, and the waiting list is long. Very long.

TEDx Tel Aviv

Clay Shirky: How twitter can make history

Clay Shirky is a known voice in the internet space, a Professor at NYU teaching ‘Social Weather’ at the Interactive Telecommunications Program. He’s also an excellent speaker and a frequent visitor at TED.com.

And according to him, twitter is already changing the world (iranelection, obamacampaign, china). I really liked what he said about conversation and groups (mid-way into the lecture):

Unlike past telco inventions (print, tv and radio), the internet (and twitter) is the first communication tool that enables us to make conversation and create groups – at the same time.

Enough of me, just watch the lecture (17:03):

Local warming in the blogging community

Very funny and relevant video, from Israeli Hi-Tech ‘Godfather’ Yossi Vardi, on ‘local warming’, courtesy of TED.com. Although the audience is laughing throughout the 6min lecture, this topic is very serious – if you’re a male blogger, watch carefully and act accordingly. If you’re a female, relax, sit back and enjoy..
