U.S. Soldiers Can Blog Anytime, Anywhere

Posted April 02, 2011 8:14 AM

Estimates predict that one of every two Americans will have a smartphone by 2011 yearend, so the U.S. Army has setup an "Army Strong Stories" iPhone application and mobile Web site so personnel, friends, and potential recruits have mobile access to content about Army life, and soldiers can communicate their experiences. The mobile website is compatible with the following platforms: iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Android, and webOS and is accessible at m.armystrongstories.com. Does this sound like an efficient way to get more info about the Army?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Defense & Security Technology, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Defense & Security Technology today.

Or if not so serious, has the potential to cause a huge embarrassment.

Nothing like blogging about your mission to the public while your attempting to complete it.

"Just thought I'd say were about to go in for a surprise attack on the enemy.... Hmm... interesting, the enemy is leaving, wonder why?"
