There are some great examples of people doing it well (lansons springs to mind) but it feels to me it's the discpline that has most struggled to adapt to the new world.

I guess it does highlight how difficult it can be for employers to come to terms with the world of social media and applications like Facebook. Web 2.0 is not going to go away any time soon. We at <a href="http://oxygen.mintel.com/index.html" rel="nofollow">Mintel Oxygen</a> have recently produced a report "Online Social Media and Travel" that looks at how blogs, social networks etc are impacting upon the travel sector and the world of work generally. A very useful read for anyone interested in the Web 2.0 phenomenon and the ways in which business sectors are getting to grips with it. Must say that example is pretty surprising!
