TEDActive social media workshop being held at the Noah Purifoy Site, Palm Springs
This year at TEDActive, pre-conference activities and the first TED YOU talks were held at an amazing desert sculpture park created by artist Noah Purifoy. Today, the New York Times reported that a sculpture of Purifoy's that was thought to be lost forever has been recovered and will be shown in a 2011 exhibition at Getty Museum in LA. This particular piece is significant because it was constructed from the rubble and wreckage of the Watts riot, constituting a piece of history not only for the artist, but for LA and the civil rights movement as a whole.

Why do people live in the desert? If the conditions are so harsh
(heat, drought, famine), why not leave the desert for better areas to
live? (Details would be appreciated about different reasons. Also nice
would be authoritative sources that address this issue.)

Earn up to $3500/month just by taking simple surveys online!
I tried one of those online survey sites about 4 months ago that
say all you have to do is spend a couple of minutes filling out
some surveys and you will be making hundreds a day..... YEAH RIGHT, I didn't make anything.
I joined 7 of these stupid websites and I actually tried filling
out a couple of surveys on each site and they took forever then at
the end they wanted me to buy things or I couldn't complete the
survey.
These are complete scams so be aware!!! I couldn't believe they
were even allowed to sell such bogus products.
Then about 2 weeks ago I was watching the news and they had some
vice presidents and marketing managers of some major multi million
dollar companies talking about a site that they personally work
with to pay consumers for their opinion, A site that actually just
wants the "average Joe's" honest opinion on products and services
and is willing to pay big money to get them. for more information
