No, this post is a classic case of marketing, techno, gobbedly-gook. It has no clear thesis, and riffs from topic to topic.
I got bored halfway through, and I still don't understand what his point is.
My favorite use of language is the one you mention "intrapreneurial"!
- hernan7 16y ago"Intrapreneurial"... I think the last time I heard that word was in the 90's at IBM (along with "rightsizing" and other business jargon that I forgot). Then came the Internet boom and brought along a new layer of lexical detritus.

- brc 16y agointrapreneurial is a term for being an entrepreneur within the confines of a larger organisation. It's a business school buzzword for people working in a larger company to feel like they're just like real entrepreneurs, but doing it with the might and resources of a large organization behind them. Or, as otherwise known, 'doing your job'. To be fair, though, creating new products/services within a larger organization can provide significant challenges. You could argue that Google promotes intrapreneurship with the 20% time projets.
