the 7 (or eight?) Role of the intranet home page

Steptwo has published a very interesting article on the prevalent use of the home page on the intranet (and the best practices associated with them).

James Robertson identifies 7:

- To highlight the news

- To make access to inland

- To highlight the key applications

- To highlight key information

- To promote the internal culture

- The internal marketing

- For collaboration tools

Then shows an example for each role (but below two):

I find the comments very good article, but I forgot to another role, namely to the collector of contributions coming from the community: the home page it can accommodate the latest in automatic things produced within the different spaces for sharing .

Omitting this role is to forget that the intranet is based partly on a number of features for sharing and collaboration that is good to highlight as emergent behavior.

On no?
