		<description><![CDATA[Great line up of speakers today @ TEDxBoston.  You can see it here through livestreaming.
Check out MassChallenge, SCVNGR, Bill Warner and Scott Kirsner&#8217;s Ted Talks.  There is more too but these are really interesting to me.
Boston and New England is an innovation hub.  Great to see this showcased within the TED community.
