The power of the superoganism. The strength of our connections. The ties we create between people. Our connections matter. What Nicholas Christakis stated in his TED presentation is that social networks are fundamentally related to ‘Goodness’. Social networks are what will drive ‘adoption of innovation’. We need to step back and take a look at the people we surround ourselves with and how we interact with others. The connection between our friends being obese and the tendency for you to become obese or overweight is real. Connections do matter. The ties between people makes the whole greater than the sum of it’s parts. What a great opportunity we have today to use the power of social networking to generate CHANGE and GOODNESS. http://www.ted.com/talks/nicholas_christakis_the_hidden_influence_of_social_networks.html
