But it's most widely-used service is undoubtedly BackPack, which has changed and evolved to become the type of intranet tool that Google Sites strives to be.

| BackPack intranet users can automatically keep up with the activities of the group |
BackPack started as a rather straightforward to-do list maker and document storage site. As its name implies, you jammed your *stuff* into it.
But earlier this month 37 Signals added multi-user support for the service, instantly turning it from a single-user productivity service into a perfect small user intranet.
All the features available previously to a single user -- list-making, document management, word processing, online calendaring and more -- are now available on a company-wide, team-wide basis.
BackPack isn't free, but prices start at just $5 a month, which won't price you out.
If you like Google Sites, take a look at BackPack. It might give you everything you need in a more mature and a bit snazzier package.
