BLOG POSTS  | Arianna Huffington: 18 Great Ideas From 2011 That Can Shape 2012
On behalf of The Huffington Post and TED, we are delighted to invite you on a year-end journey of ideas that can help shape the world in 2012.

TED stands for technology, entertainment and design, but the content has become much broader than that. The talks you'll be seeing touch on science, business, global issues, education, and much more.
