According to Wired, In-Q-Tel, the technology division of the CIA, recently invested an undisclosed amount of money in Visible Technologies. Visible Technologies is a firm that does social media monitoring for major companies including Microsoft, Dell, and Verizon.
Wired tells us that this is part of a movement to better incorporate publicly available information that is often hidden into their intelligence gathering. With the CIA coming into the game it should be clear that the power of social media isn’t going away any time soon. So careful what you tweet because now the CIA is reading it all.
