Starting September 22nd members of the CIA and FBI will have their own version of MySpace and Facebook. This network will allow spies to be able to quickly and efficiently spread the word on any new information and intelligence they know about. My initial reaction to this article was concern over privacy and hacking but the article discusses issues of privacy and how they have made this website hacker-proof. I think that having this network is going to significantly advance the efficiency of the CIA and FBI. Having information available quickly and right at your fingertips all day, every day is going to be very convenient. I hope that with this increased efficiency we will be more prepared to deal with any sort of terrorist attack or other types of national disasters that may occur. Also, on a different note I think it's amazing how social networks like Facebook and MySpace have made such a large impact on our society and how it is run. I bet the creators of Facebook and MySpace never thought that the FBI and CIA would be using their work as models for a "spy network".
