HR's struggle with Web 2.0

I agree with this article the four reasons that make web 2.0 difficult to use in HR do seem to hold true in many companies today. I think as technology evolves and HR changes it is important to restructure jobs of HR professionals. I think HR should not be isolated from other parts of the business. Unlike other fields, HR needs to be involved in the business on multiple stages to be more skillful and capable of finding, developing, and maintaining the building blocks of any organization--the people. Hr needs to know technology, HR needs to know legal, HR needs t know how to document and lead--HR is becoming a interdisciplinary field.
