ePOWER TIP: (full story)
A Free (and
much better) Alternative To Intranets.com
...
One of the best things that
happened recently is that
Intranets.com went
from "free" to "fee". I say, "best" thing,
because it forced my staff and I to find another
resource to host team and group-based
Intranets... Thanks to
ePOWER! NEWS subscribers Mark Benson (Keller
Williams Platinum Realty, Naples, FL) and Linda
Soesbe (McGinnis GMAC, Colorado Springs, CO) we
have discovered a much better Intranet resource at
CommunityZero.com. It appears to be much faster,
less cluttered, and more useful as an Intranet
than Intranets.com ever thought of being!
You can build your own private free team or
company Intranet in minutes with this resource. I
actually called the folks at Community Zero and
asked how long they expected to keep this service
free (given the trend of charging these days —the
nerve! :o). They said that there are no plans at
this time to charge for the basic service.
However, since each free Intranet is limited to 5
MB of online storage, some groups will naturally
want to upgrade to the Advantage™ service that
provides five times as much storage for about $50
U.S. per month.
At RUSSER Communications we use Intranets to help
run our business no matter where in the world I
happen to be speaking. We simply could not
function without one. If you haven't thought about
organizing your real (or virtual) team via an
Intranet, now is a *really* good time to consider
it! |
