Changing the way the military communicates

DOD released an interesting story today regarding how DOD has its sights set on changing the way we communicate.  Story is posted here.  There’s an effort moving forward to harness more emerging technologies, and mediums like blogging and video-sharing.  The story highlights Mr. Price Floyd, the Pentagon’s new Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs. 

Air Force PA has recently started to move in this direction with recent additions, like this blog, live-Twitter feeds from bases supporting the front lines, Airmen blogging about their personal experiences and the re-design and release of Air Force Link, which now offers a feed-back mechanism for comments.  Expect more from military communicators in the future.
