the post from Yvette Cameron

So the main point I wanted to comment on from the HR Tech conference is about the integration between HR and social technologies.  I liked the post from Yvette Cameron arguing that HR needs to be more interested in social technologies like Atlassian, Jive, NewsGator, Socialtext andTelligent.  I agree!  That's why I've been attending and speaking at a range of Enterprise 2.0 conferences in US and Europe over the last five years.
However I don't agree with Yvette's reasoning for why we (HR, and IC too I guess) should be interested i.e. that these systems are having increasing impacts on 'social HCM' e.g. social learning and social talent management.  Well yes, they are, but that's still not the reason why these systems are so interesting.
