Intellipedia, Wikipedia for CIA

November 3rd, 2006

I was saying in one of my posts about how much people love Wikis nowadays and it seems that Wikipedia really started a new trend.

The rumour has it that all the 16 intelligence services of the US started this Wiki inspired database nicknamed ‘Intellipedia’ and they use it to share information among agencies to avoid humilliating situations in which one agency contradicts another. It seems that all user exchange information freely but there can be no anonymous posts and also Congress members will not have the right to view the content of Intellipedia because of wariness of sharing material analists consider a work in progress.

This is one fine initiative for the US intelligence agencies IF they manage to keep it secure. This proves once again that some concepts are just brilliant.
