FBI’s Most Wanted Lists Get High-Tech Makeover

If you’ve earned yourself a spot on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, you have a lot more to worry about these days than seeing your picture on the wall at your local post office.

The agency has begun to use some very cool high-tech tools to capture fugitives — and to find missing persons, too.

The bureau recently upgraded its use of widgets mini-applications that can be added to a Web page or a PC’s desktop and updated remotely by simply copying and pasting Web code.

It has designed interactive iPhone-looking posters that bloggers and MySpace and Facebook users can embed on their pages to showcase the bad guys.

There are weekly podcasts, e-mail alerts and digital billboards posted across the country that have directly led to the capture of at least 70 fugitives.
