Most of you have heard of Seth Godin. Rich, marketing guru, who’s written several books. His latest is called Tribes. I liked the book. I didn’t particularly care for how it was written, no chapters, just sections. But overall I would recommend it to anyone really. You don’t have to be in the business world to appreciate it.

For those of you that don’t like to read, I thought I would just give you Seth’s TED talk. It’s an abbreviated Tribes.

Enjoy.

Imagine doing your grocery shopping with a device that allows you to see if the toilet paper you’re about to purchase was manufactured in an environmentally friendly way. Or imagine walking up to someone on the street and within seconds of meeting the person you know his background, where he works, where he lives, what groups he belongs to. Pattie Maes from MIT thinks it’s possible. She demoed such a device at TED. Enjoy.
