See something like that would make more sense. Maybe I'm old school, but I was kinda surprised when I read that Anna Chapman had a facebook page with some scrumptious pics.
I don't really see most spy-ish types updating their facebook profiles. (Granted the opposite might work, a modern day MataHari who hides in the spotlight so to speak. But I'd rather not contemplate that horrible scenario, because that could mean the possibilities that the cast of 'Jersey Shore' are actually an elite team of spies out to infiltrate the highest levels of super secrets.)
But most of the headlines I've read so far doesn't sell the story as they're just intermediaries or disposable layer\distraction wielded by the real cloak and daggers. It's selling it as they are the actual spies.
Then again maybe I'm just still adjusting to the new normal, considering a 4 star American General who is not unversed in black ops, gives an interview to Rollingstone. And closer to my own backyard, this:

I mean what's next, James Bond tweeting to the world:
