Welcome to this week’s Sunday’s Top Links!
1. TED Conversations
TED has been coming out with some great stuff lately to better interact with their large network, one of these being TED Conversations. This is essentially a platform for sharing in three forms: ideas, questions, and debates. The interesting thing is that the conversations expire after a set amount of time, an interesting way to promote interaction.
2. Sabbath Manifesto
The Sabbath Manifesto is a creative project focused on slowing down the lives in the currently chaotic world. One of their big events is National Unplugging Day, on March 4th to 5th, where you remove yourself from technology for the day. Sounds like a great idea to force ourselves to step away from the technology in our lives.
3. Wordle
Doing any type of word analysis, perhaps on a speech or an interview, then Wordle is a great tool to check out. It takes any input of text and creates beautiful word clouds to make things more visually pleasing.
