The Hill » The importance of social media in the Army
“The Hill,” the blog of the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team PAO, ran a good piece on the anniversary of the unit’s social media effort earlier this month. Great overview of the issue, benefits and challenges:
Two weeks, Carlisle’s own 100 dollars, and the internet savvyness of 3rd HBCT’s Sgt. Jeremy Gadd, the team was up and running with a unit website and blog, as well as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube accounts. The overwhelming realization came that it wasn’t just a good idea; it was a great idea. The question then became, “How do we take full advantage of everything social media has to offer?”
