I wanted to post videos of two of the most memorable presentations from the recent #140 Conference at the O2 Indigo.  The keynote was from actor, comedian and social commentator  Stephen Fry. One of the key messages to attendees was that social media is human-shaped [about interaction by individuals with individuals] rather than corporate-shaped. The message seemed to that that social media should be about building relationships with company advocates, rather than using it to make corporate pronouncements.

One of the other presentations that will stay with me for a long time was by Daren [surname], founder of 140Characters.co.uk, who talked about Serendipity and Social Media to illustrate how social media can have a tangible impact on both individuals and businesses.  Those of us who were there will also have Daren to thank for introducing us to a little-known Marvin Gaye musical number.
