wikipedia for spies…

the US government started a wiki of their very own! it’s called Intellipedia. it is much more secretive however, not open to public eyes. this wiki allows all the different gov’t officials to create their own pages and be able give access to the rest of the intelligence officers to compare and contrast information. i found this fascinating that the government is using the same technology the rest of us are. there are different levels that different users have access to, such as unclassified, sensitive, and secret.

this is a big risk for the government to take. if the system is hacked into, a ton of top-secret information may be taken a hold of. however, this allows for the whole intelligence community to see information, leading to less mistakes as in events like 9/11.
