Compelling Tweets from TEDxShekhavati Event
Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at 8:08PM We just love this! @masarat broadcast these tweets live from her event, a non-profit privately organised conference intended to share ideas to improve the World (www.ted.com - TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design.)
TEDxShekhavati was apparently set up in rural India to a non-paying audience. Live the excitement of the event through @masarat's tweets - it reminds us of why we love live events so much!

One of the interesting things about TEDTalk and TEDConferences is that each presenter is limited to 18 minutes - suggesting that any subject, however big or important, can be explained in 18 minutes. Could we take a lead in the corporate world?
