Intelligence and Social Networks

I came across this interesting article that demonstrates the use of social networks for intelligence agencies.
The authors took the data from twitter and  analysed the social networks to identify the key people in the organization and simulating of information flow. This article helps to realize the hidden potential of social networks and the information present in them.

From the intelligence perspectives, it helps to understand how security agencies can identify Agents that may be willing to give out information to the intelligence agencies. It also talk about the simulation of information in case the top leader in a terrorist organization were to be killed.

People with keen interest in military and social networks would love reading this article.
