Google Tech Talk: National Security and Web 2.0

If your in the DC Area and are interested in how the military and intelligence communities are utilizing Web 2.0 technologies you should definitely check out this talk.

Web 2.0 technologies are changing the way the military and intelligence community operate.

The military is gradually turning to Web-based, collaborative technologies to aid combat operations. Soldiers in Iraq have used CAVNET, an interactive community hosted on the military's secure intranet, to share knowledge acquired while on patrol.

Meanwhile, the intelligence community has adopted wikis, blogs, and other Web 2.0 tools to organize and share information. Intellipedia, a classified wiki aimed at helping analysts share intelligence, is used by tens of thousands of individuals from the 16 intelligence agencies and other national security-related organizations.

This talk is being hosted at Google DC on Friday, June 12, 2009 from 10:00am - 11:15am and will be moderated by Jim Young.
