Intellipedia

In 2006, the crafty folks at the CIA created Intellipedia, a Wikipedia-like interactive site to share information and seek advice. According to the Time story linked above, it's immensely popular within the CIA.

It reveals that the CIA is still behind the curve technologically. The myth of the omnipotent CIA is stronger than the reality, and injecting new, younger blood into the analyst corps could precipitate some changes to increase communication, as Intellipedia seems to achieve.
