Video Pick: Simple Community Ideas

A colleague recently shared with me her favourite TED videos and I have just finished watching them all.  The following 2 stuck out for me as they are awesome examples of the power of community, simple ideas and people's willingness to be part of something and share themselves.

I love Candy's and Frank's ideas.  Candy finds ways for neighbours to share information and ideas in public places and Frank collects secrets.

Time to find me a postcard and get involved!

It is full of interesting sound bites / video clips of some of the most influential women in history.  My only question is when are they going to expand the scope to "Women Who Make the World"!?
