We spent $860,000 rebuilding our intranet. The most popular page on the intranet is still the cafeteria menu.

Is it really that surprising that people eat?

Agreed. Running some basic math, let's say the business has four divisions of equal size and one cafeteria. Every single person might be viewing the homepage for their division, but only 3 in 10 view the cafeteria menu; that means the division pages get 25% of traffic, and the cafeteria menu gets 30%, is still be 'most popular', but only because it appeals to the widest base.

The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th most popular activities might be more telling.

"the number one search term on our intranet is 'Google'"

Awesome.

Doesn't really surprise me. (I wonder what % of searches on google are for google?)

:) My firefox plugin to search the intranet (originally one I built myself - now just the supplied one), means that I occasionally do very strange intranet searches. (And very strange google searches at points)

Clever :-)

The about page suggests that this is a viral marketing scheme for http://www.thoughtfarmer.com/ -- looks interesting.

That's where you went wrong.

That's one team of Java developers for one year.

Big companies are big, and this kind of money is pocket change, especially when their Intranet has 300,000 users.
