Facebook for Spies

A new facebook type program called A-Space has been incorporated into 16 U.S. intelligence agencies. “It’s a place where not only spies can meet but share data they’ve never been able to share before.”  Instead of posting pictures and videos of your friend’s birthday party, one could post videos of al Qaeda activity, secret messages and so on.  This type of site was spawned from facebook, myspace and other social-networking sites that allow user generated content to influence others in the same departments.
