Not Very Useful
You would think that with five authors there would be something useful in this book. Unfortunately, this book is all about the politics of Intranets and not about actually building one. There is one page with an outline of possible Intranet topics, but other than that there is no help on Intranet content.

Not very useful
It is way to basic, if you've been running an intranet in a largish size company then you don't need this book. If you just got thrown to the wolves though then this may (or may not help). I can't honestly recommend this book.

A good effort but outdated.
If this was still 1998, this would be an excellent read but unfortunately, as with most material in this category (Web Usability), it ages too quickly.

Good advice and very realistic.
This book has definately prepared me for the challenges that are ahead ofme.Creating an intranet is the easy part of the process.The bookdiscusses the politics that are involved and what obstacles you may need toovercome.Regardless of it not being a "technical" book, it gaveme a more clear understanding of exactly how the whole thing works, andpolitical steps I might need to take to prepare myself and my company.Iwould recommend this book to anyone who may be involved in the process -beginning or advanced.

Perfect! Recommended to anyone who looks beyond technology!
Already from the start I enjoyed this book. A book which shows that intranets are --indeed-- about people and not technology. Although my background is quite technical (UNIX admin...) I recognize that it is not technology in the first place which needs attention. Good structured, nice to read. The first 4 chapters were (for me) most valuable. The rest of the book is a very handy guide for implementing and learning the processes involved. So a big relief and I recommend this book to everybody who is able to look *beyond* the technology... ... Read more
