TEDx Seattle Scoop

By Brian Rowe | January 28, 2010

TEDx Seattle is happening at the Pacific Science Center on April 10th.  The event is being TEDx Seattle is organized by the Master of Communication in Digital Media (MCDM) program at the University of Washington.  One of the most exciting parts of TEDx Seattle is that they are strongly considering creating an interactive website for the event that promotes social media in real time.

Here are my two favorite confirmed speakers:



Ben Huh – icanhascheezburger.comBen is the CEO of the Cheezburger Network, the company behind the hugely popular blogs I Can Has Cheezburger?, FAIL Blog, There, I Fixed It, and more than 25 others. His job is to make the Internet laugh for 5-minutes a day.  In addition to making people laugh, Ben is a a true innovator in business models for user generated content websites.




Eugene Cho - Founder - www.onedayswages.org

Eugene Cho and his family began what became onedayswages.org when they made a decision to donate their 2009 income ($68,000) to the cause of fighting extreme global poverty. But we didn't want to stop there. We also wanted to invite our family, friends, and the rest of the world to consider donating just their "one day's wages" and be part of this international grassroots movement. And then to renew that pledge monthly, quarterly, or at least yearly, on their birthdays.
