Summary: A Painful Lullaby
Review: I don't like books that put me to sleep and this one did. I was hoping to read in detail about intranets (hardware, software,and construction) but this book was pretty basic. It would be no help to someone looking to create an Intranet from scratch but more for someone who wants a 400 page dictionary definition of Intranet. It was a bore and a waste of time and I suggest you read all the reviews before buying this book.

Review: This book is totally "light" and superficial. It's like reading a poor article in a magazine. It hasn't the appropiate level of discussion for each point. I've read it in five days, wondering when I'd find something that really worths. I've finished it, and I'm still waiting !!!.In each chapter, the authors give you a short description of some basics facts about technologhy, or any other not technical fact; but anyway facts that you should already know if you're an IT professional. Everywhere in the book, you can find the phrase "for more information, call the specialists". The specialists, of course, are companies like BSG, where they used to work. But you can't find the author. That company has been sold, so the book references to a lot of resources that doesn't exist anymore. I strongly recommend you not to read it. If you have to manage the bulding process of a corporate Intranet, I think I can give you some help. There are some serious works about human facts, functional facts, and management facts in an Intranet. "Intranet Organization", by Steven Tellen is a good one. It's online, search for it (I can't put URLs here). I don't know if it is a printed version, but it should. I've also good references for "The Human Side of Intranets", by Jerry W. Koehler. If you're a developer, instead, I recommend you to start with "Intranets Unleashed". It gaves you a good introduction to each technologhy point. The conclussion about the book: it is not technical, it is not functional. Really bad. 400 pages about nothing !!!
