A tweet came up in my TweetDeck “intranet” column. @baldgeekinmd called for help, and intranet resources must come to the rescue!
@baldgeekinmd: Ok, got appointed to MPOW’s intranet redesign team. Suggestions for intranet redesign and best practices anyone.
How can we help?? I’m trying to make a general list of links to other blogs, sites and resources about intranets. Here’s a list (which is always open to more).
First, super intranet guru @markmorrell and his blog.
Second is owner of THE Intranet Blog, @tobyward.
Third, consulting team Intranet Connections. Even though they are in the business of getting clients, they still share their wisdom. Follow @CarolynDouglas or @RachelLai83.
Next, the Intranet Benchmarking Forum shares screenshots sometimes, and they often have “intranet tours,” but you have to pay usually. Not always though. Follow @ibf.
Here’s a presentation on intranet best practices, specifically for social intranets.
If you use Sharepoint, most of what you need can be found on Microsoft’s own site.
Here is a super cool list of sites that use Sharepoint and their screenshots, all listed by industry.
Here’s Microsoft’s own template for a Sharepoint governance plan.

Behold the power of twitter in action! Thanks for the resources. I am forwarding this post to my team for resource consideration.
You prove again that “you are what you share!”
Comment by (almost) Bald Trainer May 12, 2010 @ 8:11 pmGlad you found it helpful! We’ve got a “community” of sorts on Twitter, and we share a lot of info and help each other out. The ones I listed above are the frequent victims of my intranet cries for help
Comment by Valerie Hoven May 12, 2010 @ 8:15 pmHi Valerie
Thank you for including Rachel and I in your ‘go-to’ intranet resources! Twitter is my favorite social media outlet because of the amazing intranet community it provides. I am constantly learning and appreciate the opportunity to share. So glad we have connected through Twitter, and thanks again for the mention.

Thanks so much for including me in your intranet resources list. I am very flattered to be amongst those I would consider Intranet Gurus.
I definately think you should add Jane McConnell @netjmc and her wonderful
blog.
Thanks again for the inclusion.
