Crisis puts a new face on social networking | smh.com.au

A fine story about the recent utilisation of social networking platforms with just one little error; the NSA is not part of the Pentagon, it is a US Government office dealing specifically with cryptography (code breaking and creating) and the analysis o foreign intel. NSA I’m fairly sure that this journo is now on their radar. If they were part of the pentagon their url would have a .mil suffix.

Her story highlights the pros and cons of social networking which are the same as the reason I have dropped three networks from my arsenal; LinkedIn, Twitter (which I will return to when they re-introduce txt tweets from Australian mobiles other than the iPhone) and Plaxo (a duplication of several other platforms).
