Tribes-Internet leaders

Here's another Ted video. Seth Godin talks about the internet's revival of tribes. The internet provides people with opportunities to find like-minded others. He argues that all that's needed is a leader to connect people to create change. I'm acting as a leader of sorts in the Post Grad Group. (I of course aim for collaborative learning, so am very reluctant to refer to myself as a 'leader'. I'm only using the term to use Seth Godin's language.) I haven't stepped up to the plate fully yet. (I've kind of been hovering around it.) I am beginning to regain passion and drive for this project and am finally stepping up. (I got overwhelmed by this subject and by other commitments for a while there, and did not act.) I am using the internet, as Godin describes, to connect to people who share the same uni student status as me and are interested in meeting new people.
