And this year, Intellipedia has been garnering some substantial press coverage — considering the last time it was in the news cycle was when it was going through a “midlife crisis.” In addition, there was plenty of discussion around other Web 2.0 technologies that are fostering better information sharing within the Intelligence Community.
