If you're interested in seeing how an enterprise 2.0 intranet actually works in practice I'd recommend you watch Walton Smith's presentation video about hello.bah.com, Booz Allen Hamilton's internal portal, which is posted on the Atlassian website (hello.bah.com uses Atlassian Confluence to power the wiki).
The portal recently won the Open Enterprise Innovation Award at the 2009 Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston. It's especially interesting because Walton delivers a live demonstration of the functionality and also discusses specific examples of how the portal has delivered real benefits to the business.
The video gives any organisations employing knowledge workers an insight into the business value of Enterprise 2.0 and how the much talked about principles (freeform collaboration, tagging, wikis, expertise search, notifications and social bookmarking) actually work in practice.
During the presentation Walton also describes how the firm uses both Microsoft SharePoint and the social portal together to manage different classes of information and knowledge - useful information for anyone considering how an Enterprise 2.0 strategy might fit with a SharePoint deployment.
