Talking to people who share the same interest with me is great. But, when those people have different backgrounds, whether it's cultural or professional, the conversation gets even better. The story of how GPS was born is a really awesome example of how great things can be created through sharing thoughts and collaborating. I'm always looking for opportunities to share good ideas with various people. That's why I enjoy watching TED talks, and share my thoughts on my blog and Twitter. Follow me (@dansoonie) and visit my blog constantly to see if you have anything interesting to share with me.
