One comment though regarding the tweets on the UBL hit. You’re assuming that AQ would have been monitoring that specific guy’s tweets or the conversations and then had the ability to communicate real time after crunching the data using ““big data”-style algorithms and mapping technology that is now commonplace.” I’m not so sure that is within the realm of the possible for guys who communicate by having people carry thumbdrives across the globe.

Just the same.. great post.

There are a number of references to the iLink technology developed by the Social Computing Group at SRI among them: http://readwrite.com/2008/07/31/social_media_in_the_military_p

Thanks for the comment though.

You ruined what would have been a very good and sensible article.

It has been traditionally difficult to search for these, but now you can do that via Engagio’s social conversations search capability. Here’s an example on the Gaza-Israel conflict http://bit.ly/UDz430
