The Information Awareness Office (IAO) was established by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in January 2002 to bring together several DARPA projects focused on applying surveillance and information technology to track and monitor terrorists and other asymmetric threats to national security, by achieving Total Information Awareness (TIA). This would be achieved by creating enormous computer databases to gather and store the personal information of everyone in the United States, including personal e-mails, social networks, credit card records, phone calls, medical records, and numerous other sources including, without any requirement for a search warrant.[1] This information would then be analyzed to look for suspicious activities, connections between individuals, and "threats".[2] Additionally, the program included funding for biometric surveillance technologies that could identify and track individuals using surveillance cameras, and other methods.[2]
Following public criticism that the development and deployment of these technologies could potentially lead to a mass surveillance system, the IAO was defunded by Congress in 2003. However, several IAO projects continued to be funded, and merely run under different names

The government is using facebook and myspace crazed citizens to compile databases on everyone! They are willingly just giving up the info each time they update their profiles. Tagging photos, linking friends, tracking friends,and giving up personal details such as phone numbers and schedules, these are all ways they are collecting and compiling info on all of us. Through these social network sites we have given them everything they have wanted and they dont even have to work to get it!

While this is interesting and definitely has to be something afoot, the guys that are actually putting info in must be really bored day-to-day because of all the same, unimportant bullshit that self- absorbed facebook using people seem to post everyday. I'd hate to be the lowest ranking person in that office.
