Hello Paul. Great to see you have your blog up and running. I don't know about you, but I'm a pretty low tech guy and I never thought I would see the day that I'd actually become a "blogger". Good luck on finishing the assignment today. I thought I would post a comment now as my Family and I have plans the rest of the evening. Take care and happy blogging! -Craig Mitchell
I believe it’s a good idea for military intelligence community to use different types of Web 2.0 technologies. As the article states these tools are helping the Defense Intelligence Agency meet certain regulations from 9-11 Commission for the DIA to advance work processes. It also is keeping the military community constantly up to date with any information they need to be aware of without worrying who isn’t up to date on important information. Who has been in consistent use of blogging and using different types of Web 2.0 technologies when it was experimental in 2002, have been the Air Force and the Navy. With the beginning of war on terrorism and soldiers being stationed in both Afghanistan and Iraq, they needed to find consistent ways of communicating from different parts of the world to one another. Using Web 2.0 technologies offered this to both these branches of military. I recall certain generals having trouble trying to learn this new technology. One general in particular said, “We keep on getting older, but technology keeps on getting faster and more advanced.” Therefore, now signifying that war just like a business needs constant communication and technology skills. It is already becoming a technological warfare. With blogging, wikis, RSS feeds and other technologies it’s a better way for commanding officers to communicate with other high ranking officers in order to keep informed as well as keep Washington officials knowledgeable. Having this type of technology at their use, can prevent many bad situations from occurring; like 9-11, or terrorist threats, since the military community will be aware of what is going on.
Hope your family is doing well Paul, it has probably been a pretty interesting week for you. We've all pretty much made the same points when it comes to Web 2.0 and the military. It is an excellent use of technology in sending and receiving intelligence, the key has to be making sure the sensitive information is secure.
It's amazing that it's 2009 and I am just now learning about these apps that you mention have been used since 2002. The generals aren't the only ones that are so far behind the curve. Your post also made me wonder if the military uses fake names, code names, etc to stay anonymous?
