TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages.
Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world.
Diigo(bookmarking tool) is a powerful information capturing, storing, recalling and sharing tool. Here are just a few of the possibilities with Diigo:
  • Save important websites and access them on any computer.
  • Categorize websites by titles, notes, keyword tags, lists and groups.
  • Search through bookmarks to quickly find desired information.
  • Save a screenshot of a website and see how it has changed over time.
  • Annotate websites with highlighting or virtual "sticky notes."
  • View any annotations made by others on any website visited.
  • Share websites with groups or the entire Diigo social network.
  • Comment on the bookmarks of others or solicit comments to your shared bookmarks.
WordPress is an online, open source website creation tool written in PHP. But in non-geek speak, it’s probably the easiest and most powerful blogging and website content management system (or CMS) in existence today.
bubbl.us turns a browser into a brainstorming canvas that you can share with your friends and colleagues. With this free and fun tool, you can create "bubble maps" to brainstorm new ideas, plan out projects, or outline meetings. You start with a main topic bubble and add connected bubbles from there. The idea is to let your mind go where it will, as each new subtopic spawns its own subtopics. This sort of free-form brainstorming is also possible with many Windows- and Mac-based mind-mapping software packages, but bringing brainstorming to the Web opens up exciting new collaboration options—imagine crossing mind mapping with wiki-like shared editing features. At this stage, bubbl.us is still very raw—enough so that I won't substitute it for my dedicated mind-mapping applications, but with continued inspiration and some hard work from its creators, I can soon see it becoming an invaluable brainstorming and collaboration tool.
