Brands and business have to be true to there values and they have a great opportunity to use web 2.0 to do this. The down side is when the communities and customers don't agree with the direction or a decision or if companies haven't stuck to their values - that's when the web can ruin you, as it allows the negative messages to hit large audiences quickly. At a recent SEO conference a similar message came out that yo mentioned in your post - people. Ts easy to forget that amongst all this technology the most important thing is people!

We also all need to embrace social and new media tools and techniques which is something that I'll be looking to do in the day job!

The presentation was fast paced and captivating - I always find that if the presenter is enthusiatic about his subject matter, especially in the way Stewart is about his, then this comes across in the delivery!
