TED - a small nonprofit founded in 1984 as a conference bringing together people. The scope broad, the ideas inspiring and definitely worth spreading!
About TED - “Our mission: Spreading ideas. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So we're building here a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other.”
Today, TED is therefore .......
best thought of as a global community with over a million followers. It's a community welcoming people from every discipline and culture who have just two things in common: they seek a deeper understanding of the world, and they hope to turn that understanding into a better future for us all.

WOW! After spending an hour glued to watching riveting talks by remarkable people including Elizabeth Gilbert, James Cameron, Amy Tan, Hector Ruiz etc....I began networking and building an even bigger community of my own.
"Technology is only as powerful as it is accessible. The IT industry has nearly unlimited potential to educate the world by connecting the world."
Hector Ruiz
And I discovered the power of connection by reaching out to forums, communities and social networking sites such as Facebook, Networked Bloggers, Linkedin groups, The Happiness Institute, Self Growth, Success Health & Happiness, The Secret, WSWNOW etc......
It’s extraordinary to see how many people from around the world are trying to connect, spread incredible ideas and help support personal & professional growth.
I discovered love today by tapping into information overload and connecting on a whole new level!
I learnt more about creative freedom, innovation, imagination and how one idea born out of a passionate commitment to help others can grow into something phenomenally successful.
Discovering Love in 365 Days is an idea worth spreading! It’s a journey of courage, leading a movement to connect through the power of love. I have always been so focussed on the companies missions I have worked for that I forgot my own mission in life - to be happy! Now since embarking on this adventure I wake up every day happy! I am working in several capacities and have ensured it fits in with my own little happiness project!
I am now determined to connect with at least 10 new souls everyday. There is nothing more fulfilling in life than sharing and learning from others. Technology today is a gift! We can literally plug in and connect with the world.
Did you know that As of 24 April 2010, the human population of the world is estimated by the United States Census Bureau to be 6,816,700,000!
Wish me luck in connecting with them all! LOL!
Well for now I will stick to my 10 new connections every day and then hopefully those 10 will pay it forward by connecting me with 10 people in their community and so on.....
TED began in 1984 and now is recognized as one of the biggest global online communities for “ideas worth spreading”
