On Feb. 4, the New York Daily News online published an article on the Intelligence Community's (IC) use of classified social networking sites to collaborate on last November's Mumbai terrorist attacks. US intelligence officers in various locations around the world utilized 'Intellipedia' and 'A-Space' to discuss and compare notes on incoming intelligence and news reports accounting the events in Mumbai. Over the span of three days these two sites received over 7,000 page views.

Under ODNI direction, the IC is adapting the concepts behind MySpace and other social networking sites to enable intelligence analysts to share information more freely and collaborate across agency lines.
