Dr. Meyerrose initiated an effort to test and ultimately use blogs as a tool for intelligence gathering.

He fostered the development of Intellipedia and pilot projects such as a U.S. government-wide focused on avian flu, in which participants numbered in the tens-of-thousands in just a few months. Information sharing contributions were made worldwide, and content and quality grew rapidly, becoming the impetus for information sharing across the U.S. government. [9] [10] [11] [12]
