Twitter Tuesday

We’re always excited to learn about new things happening in the world, which is why we’re such big fans of TEDTalks. If you haven’t checked out TED, the site shows video lecture on all sorts of topics, from entrepreneurship to genetics, to psychology, to education, and more.

Small business owners, entrepreneurs, professionals, educators and others can benefit from tuning in to what the world’s experts have to say. It can be hard to keep track of what's new on TED, so it's worthwhile to follow @Tedtalks on Twitter. You never know what (or who!) you'll find.
