CRITERIA FOR COVERAGE OR GETTING 'INK' ON INTRANETBLOG.COM:

If you or your organization has a good piece of research, a case study with a screenshot(s) and some form of KPI attached to it (some metric), or just a plain good ol' story, then I'll write about it (how much we write depends on the quality of the story or case study -- the more marketing-speak and smell of a blatant sales pitch, the less we write. We're okay with a soft sales pitch if its contained in the context of the aforementioned research, case study or good ol' story).

We do not however (with a very odd exception) cover product launches, special events or white paper releases if the above criteria are not met. On occasion however, I will cross-promote a launch or an event with a piece if the above criteria is met, or if I'm personally attending or addressing said event and I provide a sneak preview or advance teasers.

IntranetBlog.com contains no advertising or sales whatsoever (that includes you Google Ads) until such time as we get foolish and greedy. It will continue however to promote the research, and findings, and those events that support the two, of its principal author, Toby Ward, Prescient Digital Media.
