Links I liked

Almost all my links today are TED related. This is not always the case, but there was too much good stuff:

1. Naturally 7, a group that could do an entire symphony using only voice, had us all rocking and jumping on our feet. You've GOT to check them out!

2. In the past few months, Nandan Nilekani (often referred to as the "Bill Gates of India") has been getting a bit overexposed; but his TED talk was actually quite good.

3. Stewart Brand's take on squatter cities and how they are the cities of the future.

4. Q&A session with one of my favorite photographers ever, Yann Arthus Bertrand.

Email of the Future

If you are passionate about efficiency, as I am, then you will love this innovative new tool that Google's genius web team came up with. The brains behind the wildly successful "Google Maps" concept (that I live by now) brainstormed about what email would look like if they had to come up with something from scratch. Enter "Google Wave."

You can watch the demo here. Its a little long and bandwidth heavy, but if you can afford to watch it, its certainly worth it.
