Seth Godin's TEDTalk

So three questions I'd offer you.

The first one is, who exactly are you upsetting? Because if you're not upsetting anyone, you're not changing the status quo.
The second question is, who are you connecting? Because for a lot of people, that's what they're in it for: the connections that are being made, one to the other.
And the third one is, who are you leading? Because focusing on that part of it -- not the mechanics of what you're building,but the who, and the leading part -- is where change comes.

What would happen if, when you're using your Kindle, you could see the comments and quotes and notes from all the other people reading the same book as you in that moment. Or from your book group. Or from your friends, or from the circle you want. What would happen if authors, or people with ideas could use version two, which comes out on Monday, and use it to organize people who want to talk about something.

Salman Khan - Harvard Business Review

Salman Khan - Harvard Business Review:
"In the traditional academic model, you’re passive. You sit in a chair, and the teacher tries to project knowledge at you; some of it sticks, some of it doesn’t. That’s not an effective way to learn. Worse, it creates a mind-set of “you need to teach me,” so when you’re on your own, you think, “I can’t learn.” Anyone in any industry will tell you there’s new stuff to learn every week these days. So you have to say, “What information and people do I have at my disposal? What questions do I need to ask? How do I gauge whether I’ve really understood it?”"
