Ted Talks Tool #8
http://www.ted.com/talks
Truly a grand site for sharing ideas and learning through other’s stories

In the year leading up to this talk, the web tool Twitter exploded in size. Co-founder Evan Williams reveals that many of the ideas driving that growth came from unexpected uses invented by the users themselves.
