I believe that 2007 is the year when companies will start to understand that they need a read/write Intranet. Here is a list of some of the start-ups and large companies that produce systems that could be used to build a read/write Intranet.

Ideally, such a system would both help knowledge workers to get work done and help the company as a whole to work more efficiently. At this stage in the development of this new space, there are lots of different approaches. These companies are thinking about workflow, motivation, security, access control, and a range of other issues.

So, here's a Zoho powered poll. If I am missing a company, or if you would like to explain why you think one company's approach is radically different and therefore much better than the others, please do so in the comments below. There are good reasons to think that all of these companies offer something uniquely valuable. There is also good reason to think that some of these companies do not truly understand what Enterprise 2.0 end users really want and need.

UPDATE: Just as an FYI, each vendor is hyperlinked, so you can click on the name if you would like to go to their site and do some research.

UPDATE #2 If you run a blog, you can help improve the quality of the results from this poll by increasing the number of people who vote. Here's the code you can use to post it into you site:
