As a former Army guy, it usually gives me great pains to give props to the Navy.
Not this time.
I’ve got to say that I am thoroughly impressed with an official blog started aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer. The Destroyermen is a blog written by crew members who want to give a realistic, unvarnished view [...]

I don’t know Guy Hagen, but I must say I am impressed with him.
Guy is the president of Innovation Insight, a Florida company that specializes in technology development and research consulting. He has a great post on military and new media communication. I’d encourage that you read it.

And State. And Commerce. And Interior…
At least that is what Sen. Clinton is advocating, should she become president.

Ok… so I’m a week late on this one (he announced it last Tuesday on his blog), but for some reason I just got the post in my feeds this morning. Damn you, Bloglines!
Here’s the (not-so) scoop:
“Teflon Don,” the milblogger who regaled us with his impressive prose and chronicles of his deployment to Iraq on [...]

So I thought Bryan from the Center for Security Policy had learned a bit about pitching bloggers since he last pitched the D-Ring (here and here).

Public relations superstar Kami Huyse (who blogs at Communication Overtones) sent out a message on Twitter asking where people were on 9/11. She posted all of the responses on [...]
