The FBI has finally decided to get with the whole "Web 2.0" movement. They have announced that they’ve “set up shop in several social media websites.”
The FBI now has a profile on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and is working on a widget for MySpace.
There is even an FBI "Most Wanted" application for the iPhone .
From the official announcement:
“To reach out to the public, we need to be where people are—and we know tens of millions of people spend their time in social media sites," says John Miller, head of FBI Public Affairs. "Adding our fugitives, missing kids, threat and scam warnings, and other information into these sites is an extension of what we’ve done for decades—enlisting the help and support of concerned citizens around the globe to keep communities safer.”
It's good to see the FBI getting with the times and going where the masses go. Big win for the FBI!
