A-Space, an online collaborative network for intelligence professionals at agencies such as the CIA, the FBI and the NSA, launched on September 22, 2008. The site has been nicknamed "Facebook for Spies," as it is built on the same basic structure as the popular social networks MySpace and Facebook. The goal, however, is to allow for a greater exchange of information between different employees and agencies, rather than fostering friendships and socializing.CNN: CIA, FBI push 'Facebook for spies' (September 5. 2008)
How it Works
The process of using A-Space begins as it would for any social network. Analysts sign up for the site and create a profile. Colleagues can then add notes to one another's profiles or even just monitor one another's A-Space activities and workspaces. The idea is to give analysts from 16 different agencies an open, secure place to share information, and to easily access available data from around the U.S. intelligence network.FCW.com: A-Space set to launch this month (September 3, 2008)Quote
"It's every bit Facebook and YouTube for spies, but it's much, much more.. It's a place where not only spies can meet but share data they've never been able to share before."CNN: CIA, FBI push 'Facebook for spies' (September 5. 2008)— Michael Wertheimer, assistant deputy director of national intelligence for analysis
