Imagine a digital superpower with one sole economic output: collecting, structuring and selling information. Let's call it "The Information Company" - or TIC for short. TIC has found a way to tune into the global streams of internet data, collect the unstructured data and index them. The question is: where does that leave me and how can I get some personal gain from this? How do I get to be a message in these streams of data?

Ibrahim Evsan is living Social Media. In 2006 he founded sevenload - one of the most successfull German startups. In October 2009 he decided to start a new company: United Prototype. As an expert for Social Media he writes about blogs, microblogging, online-reputation and living in the life-stream in his book Der Fixierungscode.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
