Time Covers Intellipedia, A-Space

Time magazine has an article in its current issue that praises Intellipedia and looks down its nose at A-Space, two of the more innovative tools of the US Intelligence Community. Wikipedia for Spies: The CIA Discovers Web 2.0 overemphasizes the value of Intellipedia, IMHO, and underplays the true importance of A-Space, the Facebook for intelligence analysts. Both are quite important as collaboration tools and could each rock the foundations of intelligence analysis, but A-Space is the greater revolution and offers the bigger potential for fundamental change.
