Political leaders are slowly warming to social networks, notably during election campaigns. But when votes are not at stake, just how open are world leaders? Do they engage their online fans and followers? Are they using and abusing social networks? Which of them should we 'like'? And which had we better unfriend?

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)
