This is a great visual outlining how those commenting on blogs on behalf of the Air Force should respond in various situations. If it were all this easy... can I get one of these for my life?
Via Global Nerdy, who reports that the Air Force has appointed a Chief Emerging Technology Officer "whose job is to develop strategy, policy and plans for the Air Force’s 'communicators' and whose mission is to use or build web applications as a means of engaging Airmen and the general public in conversation. The goal is to make every single Airman a communicator." Nerdy also shared links to existing Air Force social media efforts including:
In my travels on the interwebs I have discovered that other defense oriented agencies, such as the Department of Defense and the Department of State, are also out in front when it comes to adoption of social media and are using it as a way to connect and maybe even, umm.. market... themselves. DOD's site is especially impressive and gets beyond the block and tackle social media tools (like social bookmarking, embedable video, etc.) with forays into sites like BlogTalk Radio. Will be exciting to see what comes next, especially with the new administration paving the way.
