'Facebook for Feds' - U.S. Government to Launch Fedspace

In an attempt to foster better communication between U.S. government agencies, the State Department plans to launch FedSpace this fall, a social networking portal for federal employees. While not the government’s first foray into social networking (Intellipedia, a top secret network, recently celebrated its fifth anniversary), it is expected to be its largest digital undertaking to date.

Fedspace will be primarily made up of member profiles, blogs and wikis with a key purpose to:

  • Allow sensitive information to be securely exchanged among federal workers, including file transfers.
