2 Employee Morale and Engagement Killer Apps : ERE.net
A fantastic example of why good talent management systems are not enough for successful talent management. If managers do not care enough to provide meaningful feedback to employees, it does not matter how good your process or data collection may be.
Steve's HR Technology - Journal - What shaped 2009 in HR Technology?
Nice summary of 2009 emerging trends for HR technology. I think these trends will continue to play out over the next few years. However, the nuance that does not get enough attention is analytics. When you look at what is really driving success (will drive success) at many of the vendors mentioned, it is how they are using the data that they capture in those solutions to provide value to customers.
The Road From HRM To Business Results Is Littered With Misguided Metrics — Part II « In Full Bloom
Tying HRM (or HCM) initiatives (and) metrics to business outcomes is extremely important. I would tweak what Naomi discusses here in two dimensions. First, I think it is "Relative" TCBO. HCM is not the only thing impacting business outcomes. Second, one needs to understand how correlated or causal a specific HCM intervention may be to impact the business outcome (this helps you understand the likelihood of achieving the outcome).
Where does all the data come from?
Another great post from Thomas Otter. I would add that you have to think about data entry in the context of processes (formal and ad hoc). Just providing a data entry screen to capture data is often not enough, especially in a Web 2.0 world.

Subvert the HR department with Workscore | Rafe's Radar - CNET News
Very interesting development following in the footsteps of Checkster and Rypple. Talent management owned by the Talent, not the employer. This goes further with employer ratings, not just employee ratings. Portability of the talent profile (or social resume if you prefer), will be increasingly important for employees because they will likely work more than 20 jobs in their lifetime.

Seriously, If You Have Ever Used a Canned Performance Appraisal You Should Be Fired | KnowHR Blog
There are certainly some managers who are better at managing than other managers. Language suggestion tools have a place in helping weaker managers provide higher quality feedback, but I think pretty much everyone would agree that this goes too far.
