About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Great idea and use of tech whose time has come!  Nothing new really in terms of philanthropic motivations (see The Seven Faces of Philanthropy by R.A. Prince & K.M. File). All good fundraisers know the importance of connecting with these motivations - especially the personal connection part. What is new: the tech to pseronalize a video message and give the donor personalized e-tools to help challenge their friends. The challenge of getting people to take 3 hours to make video remains.
