I am very happy with all OSINT enthousiasts out there, but sometimes enthousiasm may be a little bit misleading.

Below is an interesting survey that suggests that open source information is limited to just the Internet, and within that framework just social media, and within that framework just 4 of the most popular once’s (there are hundreds of social networks).

Nothing can be further from the truth.

The global world of open source information (not ‘osint content’) is millions of times larger than this suggestion. Information in social media is but a fraction. OSINT professionals, information professionals, librarians and all those with a degree in information/library sciences know this. Example? Try Factiva, the British Library, Lexis-Nexis, Silobreaker to name a few big onces. The OSINT lesson here: know your sources!
