Listening to global voices: Ethan Zuckerman on TED.com

Sure, the web connects the whole world, but most of us end up hearing mainly from people just like ourselves. Blogger and technologist Ethan Zuckerman wants to let the whole wide world share their stories. Listen for some strategies to open up your Twitter world and read the world news in languages you don’t even speak. (Recorded at TEDGlobal 2010, July 2010 in Oxford, UK. Duration: 19:45)
