It may be hard to believe, but it is true. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) gave high sounds for social networking to strengthen American Intelligence Community in the wake of 9/11 terrorist attack. For which, CIA is bringing out its own social networking site. It is known as A-Space, reports Financial Times.

The new social networking site would be functioning more or less similar to that of MySpace and Facebook, the two popular web2.0 sites in USA providing common platforms to millions of online users.

The new site, which will be operational from December, will have web-based email service and software recommending matters of interest to the user as Amazon suggests books to its customers. The users can also create and modify documents like Google Documents.

With A-Space, CIA aims at developing a common platform where the intelligence agencies can share each other the crucial information relating to security issues.
