My thanks to Atlassian for sponsoring Future Changes this month. They’re running a Cash for Clunkers – Confluence Edition program offering a free 10-user license or 20% off any other license. All participants are also entered into a drawing for four charitable donations and four Amazon Kindles. They’ve put together a humorous – and accurate – top 10 list of reasons to trade in your old intranet:

1. Your team has meetings to talk about reducing the number of meetings
2. Your wiki constantly loses page edits when your browser crashes
3. You use SharePoint and everyone complains about its wiki
4. Your team’s idea of collaboration entails emailing documents back and forth
5. The most recent search result on your company intranet is dated July 2002
6. You have to email the Webmaster to update your company intranet
7. Three teams in your company are working on the same project and don’t even realize it
8. You frequently find yourself cc’d on long emails along with 15 other people
9. Your wiki came bundled with an Enterprise 2.0 business suite with 40 other tools
10. Not everyone in your company is an XHTML / CSS wizard
