The Financial Times reports that the intelligence community within the United States government sees more use to social networking sites than just recruitment. The government is trying to improve inter-agency communication that plagued it before the 9/11 attacks, the paper reports that, “Thomas Fingar, the deputy director of national intelligence for analysis, believes the common workspace – a kind of ‘MySpace for analysts’ – will generate better analysis by breaking down firewalls across the traditionally stove-piped intelligence community.”
According to this article, the government expects to deploy the social network – named “A-Space” – to all of its intelligence agencies by December. Its sad that we can’t observe how it functions.
