you spend on BLOGS if your only reason for being there is to harvest information. It is very easy to get<br />

distracted though with all the videos that appear daily and you have to be focused on the task. I think that<br />

too much information is being passed around. A good analyst, foreign or domestic, can put together<br />

enough information from BLOGS to build a good intelligence file. However, I realize that people are not<br />

going to shut them down and too many folks out there want access to them.<br />

BLOGS, like social sites, are good sources of information harvesting for intelligence purposes if you have<br />

the time and patience, especially the time. Good keyword searching will cut down on the time you spend<br />

on BLOGS if your only reason for being there is to harvest information. It is<br />

very easy to get distracted though with all the videos that appear daily and<br />

you have to be focused on the task. Personally, I think that too much<br />

information is being passed around. A good analyst, foreign or domestic,<br />

can put together enough information from BLOGS to build a good<br />

intelligence file. However, I realize that people are not going to shut them<br />

down and too many folks out there want access to them. Be careful how<br />

you use them. Once you post information to a Blog it is basically there<br />

forever.<br />
