Conclusions


1. The Web has evolved into much more than Websites

2. With social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn, its no longer a
   question of if your company belongs, it’s a must

3. Your Web site should be the hub, with a strong linking strategy across all
   web experiences

4. Every place you exist on the Web needs to reflect your brand (but that
   doesn’t mean its has to be branded.
