Written by a technically-minded sort of person, the post addresses the question from the perspective of someone with significant experience in creating intranets and their applications, and mulls over the real distinctions are between intranets and websites. He even asks the important question: ‘what is to website as intranet is to internet?’
The distinctions drawn are analogous to those between the world wide web and the internet, so it makes for quite an interesting read from both techie and non-techie perspectives. As outlined in the post, the motivation for the article comes from the recent surge in online debate over whether 'intranet' is still the correct term for the software in question, to which the word itself refers, and if not 'intranet' then what would be better?
