283 hours of intranet reporting!

We officially closed the 4th annual Intranet Strategies Survey today. Many thanks to the 283 organizations around the world who participated!

Here are some statistics to show you the dimension the survey is taking on:

• The number of participating organizations has nearly tripled since the first year in 2006.
• The survey itself has not gotten shorter! Both 2008 and 2009 contained over 120 questions.
• This year we have an even greater wealth of collective intranet experience: 283 managers each spending about one hour makes 35 full days of "intranet reporting" to consolidate and analyze.
• We are growing in new regions. Both Russia and Brazil are two countries on the upswing this year, thanks to network partners in those areas.
• Intranet managers are getting more involved in the design of the survey: the results of the pre-survey Quick Poll in May, and the suggestions from 9 intranet managers who did a pilot drive of this year's questionnaire were instrumental in shaping the final version.
• Several fellow intranet consultants also brought valuable suggestions to some very specific parts of the survey.
• Over 50 bloggers, twitterers and communicators have helped spread the word enthusiastically since June.
• When asked where they heard of the survey, quite a few organizations this year answered simply "Twitter". We had a very fast RT (retweet) network this year, thanks to lots of you.

More later on the survey highlights, but again, many thanks to all of you in the global intranet community.

The official report will be published in the second part of October, but I'll leak some trends here soon!
