Digital Storytellers: My TEDx Ottawa Presentation

This was a real treat! Great job, Danny.

I love your focus on the humanizing of digital story telling. At it's heart social is about the story. Thanks for sharing your presentation with us!

Great Presentation, Danny! You presented something that is altogether relatable and relevant to your audience - I mean who hasn't seen Star Wars or even tried to tell a story...even a small one...?

Enjoyment for the human race is based on stories and the art of storytelling. And you tapped into it quite nicely.

Moreover, I *very much* appreciate the fact that you pointed to the fact that getting swayed by the digital-ness of technology is equal to the loss of a good story.

Here's to more presentations and sharing the value of a good story and the support of superb sotrytellers!

Nicely done Danny... I love the last comment you made about the blank page :) We can be the author's of the next chapter in our own lives - and it can be anything and everything we desire. Imagining it, writing it, and sharing it is all that necessary to experience and live it.

Your message is always consitent too! We can all contribute to changing lives and making the world a better place for all. Great message bro!

Nice job, Danny! I love how you always focus on the human side. People do get lost in technology--it's so easy these days. It's nice to have people like you out there reminding others to stay tuned to humanity.

I love the "free hugs" guy. I remember seeing his story a while back. It reminds me of a story of a Philly DJ (Pierre Robert) sharing a story once about a woman in front of him in a store who was screaming at the cashier. Pierre said something like, "you seem like you need a hug." He hugged her and she stopped treating the cashier poorly. Life is so fast paced, it's easy to forget we're all connected--and to act that way.

Oh, hey, and congrats for being asked to present at TED. Great presentation!

Danny, what a great presentation! George Lucas, Star Wars, technology, storytelling and transforming heartache into positive social change. . . a little something for everyone.

I loved that you challenge people to be creative in their use of technology. And that you included examples like 12for12k, Epic Change, and the eye scanner on cell phones. Very inspiring.

Graeme is very talented - I'm so glad you gave him the opportunity to share his story.

And you're right - Anakin and Padme had NOTHING on Han Solo and Leia. ;-)

Thank you for all the great posts from last year! I look forward to reading your blog, because they are always full of information that I can put to use. Thank you again, and God bless you in 2010.
