Generosity Goes Viral

Generosity has the power to spread and impact millions, and in the connected age, giving away things that matter has become much easier. TED Talks went viral when they started giving away their content online, leading to a billion views annually. The rules around what we give away and what we hold on to have fundamentally changed.
