Plus faster bandwidth.

A thought - many people design Internet, Intranet and Extranet
systems separately, despite them essentially being about the same
stuff. Why not have one system which presents different views
depending on your rights?

http://www.cluetrain.com/ is useful for Intranet stuff as
well as Internet.

The third point is that usability is as critical (if not more
so) for intranets as Internet sites, because poor usability
means that the users take longer to complete tasks, which
costs money.

Matthew, I have a CM for Intranet presentation on my
work laptop which I put together for a conference a month
or so ago - interested?

Cheers
Martin
