• The internet is changing how we organize information, how we interact, how we learn, how we do business, even how we think, says David Weinberger. Companies should beware Web 2.0 will deliver even more power to the people.
• The internet has catalyzed a shift in our economy from consumption to creation, says Paul Saffo. The web is now a destination for creating and socializing in profound ways that have yet to unfold.

• Certainty and stability of tax is a priority for Finance Directors. This is difficult enough to achieve now, but the emergence of wide global networks of collaborative activity, and uncertain intellectual property ownership, will provide extraordinary challenges for the foreseeable future, says David Nickson of KPMG in the U.K.
• Search engines dominate the battle both to capture and to monetize consumer attention, says KPMG’s Lars Mouritzen. But recommendation engines promise to be the "next big thing" that Generation Y are likely to latch onto.
