FW: reddit cofounder consulting for Stratfor to bring in the social media dollars We met the cofounder of reddit this morning in the green room at Bloomberg. He's a huge Stratfor fan and he and I chatted while George was doing his interview on Bloomberg TV then he and George met and talked about doing something with reddit for social media. We invited him to visit Stratfor when he's in Austin for southbysouthwest in March. George can fill you in more on his thinking but I wanted you to see we'd made this initial contact and think about how to capitalize on a relationship with Reddit. Meredith
WikiLeaks: Leaked Emails Expose Inner Workings of Private Intelligence Firm Stratfor, a "Shadow CIA" The whistleblowing website WikiLeaks has begun publishing what it says are 5.5 million emails obtained from the servers of Stratfor, a private U.S.-based intelligence-gathering firm known to some as a "shadow CIA" for corporations and government agencies. The emails were reportedly obtained by the hackers group, Anonymous. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said the files implicate some of the world’s largest firms in corporate espionage. Firms with ties to Stratfor include Coca-Cola, Goldman Sachs, Dow Chemical, and sectors of the U.S. government, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Marine Corps and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Coke asked Stratfor to keep tabs on the protest plans of the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. "We’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the stories based on the material. They will come out in the next coming days and weeks," said Kristinn Hrafnsson, a WikiLeaks spokesperson who has been a key member of the project to release the Stratfor emails. "What we were doing yesterday was introducing the project, the nature of Stratfor and how they operate and their ties."
