Session DI-1: Social Media, Web 2.0 and DoD; the Clash of the Titans

03/23/2010

10:15 AM - 11:15 AM

Prerequisite: None

The openness and anonymity of social media have collided with the command and control, closed attitudes at DoD. The result has been a remarkable adapting of these capabilities throughout the Department. One look at Socialmedia@DoD should convince anyone that DoD is taking new media seriously, and is finding innovative ways to harness this technology. This session features a look from the perspective of the Defense Media Activity at where DoD is going with this revolutionary communications form.
