The idea is that Google is so good that will find it if your site is easy to navigate and you are resonably linked to. Now that may not help with the other search engines. The point these guys seem to be making is not to spend money on SEO, spend it on marketing and social media. SEO can only do so much. What point is there to SEO if no one links to or talks about you website? Basic SEO sill needs to be done (like descriptive URLs) but META tags and some other practices are slowly going away.

The main site I have been hearing this from is the podcast Marketing Over Coffee with Christopher Penn (and I forgot the other guy). I have also heard this on This Week in Google quite a bit and possibly a couple other sites I follow.

not be a concern form some site but most need to be found.
No SEO is akin to creating a really nice brochure and stuffing it in desk.

Is SEO much of a concern anymore? I have heard several respected
marketers/tech people say that SEO isn't as important anymore. You still
have some basic requirements, like a human readable URL, good descriptive
links, etc.

Yes, it's not really my forte either. I am however about to venture on a
project to create a SEO consumer based site. I will gladly let you know

I learn and if I can find a way to contribute anything I will.

SEO is definitely on my radar but not at the top of *my* priority list.
I
am hoping somebody else will pipe in and take that on. But I agree,
for
some businesses it will be a necessity to have a search engine friendly
site
that allows the searching of products and descriptions.

There is A LOT of science that goes into dynamic SEO pages, so maybe
somebody with more experience in that will eventually pipe in.
