Everyone knows TED - Ideas worth spreading. TED is a great place to sit and listen to interesting ideas. Many of these ideas make it online, and millions get to experience them.
The catch for many of us is that TED is $6,000, which is too expensive for most people, including a great number with good ideas worth spreading. BIL has been created as a free space for people with ideas to come together and share them.
BIL is an ad-hoc conference for people changing the world in big ways. It's a place for passionate people to come together to energize, brainstorm, and take action. BIL is free. Go to BIL, not TED.
See you when I get back...

Green Economy Case Competition Cont.
Gillette Cassette? Just finished another midterm today for my Marketing Management course and the case was on the blank cassette industry. Made me all nostalgic; who uses cassettes anymore? Oh wait, I still have a cassette player in my car...
A couple more days before the Net Impact conference and two more days before we have to submit our Philadelphia Green Economy Case Competition write-up. Our team has really come together and I feel like we have a great plan going into this competition! Too bad I can't talk about it, but here's a preview of what we got so far -->
