In today’s Buzz Feed, there were some links to recent blog posts about terrorists using virtual worlds (think platforms like Second Life) to conduct training programs.
Check out some of the links (here, here and here) .

Apparently, the blogosphere is buzzing about the logos of terrorist organizations.
Ironic Sans has an interesting breakdown of the various types of imagery associated with terrorist organizations and examines common themes that unite them, such as the use of stars, weapons and the state of Israel.
But if there is a must read on this topic, it [...]

I first wrote about the Trophy in October, suggesting that the weapon system was being promoted online by tech-savvy supporters and that the Army would not hear the end of the story that was dug up by NBC muckraker investigative reporter Lisa Myers.
It was back in the news in January.
And now, Danger Room is reporting [...]

Follow-up from yesterday’s conversation about the new Army regulation and its impact on military bloggers.
The Office of the Chief of Army Public affairs (OCPA) has fully jumped into the discussion about AR 530-1 and its impact by putting out this one-pager on the issue.
I think the key point is here:

Noah Shachtman has done it again — drawn the interest of the blogosphere (here, here and here to name a few) and the scorn of the Pentagon.
Readers of the D-Ring know that I have been known to lavish praise on Shachtman. He is probably my favorite milblogger.
But you got it wrong, this time, Noah. [...]

… Like a bloggers scorn.
At least Gen. Pace has learned that today.
More than a few bloggers (here, here, here, here and here just to name a few of the more prominent ones) are jumping up and down on the Chairman for his remarks that “homosexuality is immoral.” He blamed cited his Christian upbringing as the [...]

I think that the Center for Security Policy is a great organization. Great mission. Great objectives. Interesting research.
Bad, bad, bad pitching.
Today, I received this from Brian Hill, a research associate from the think tank.
To Whom It May Concern:
I’m underwhelmed already. My name is all over my blog. It’s not that hard to find “Steve Field” [...]

I haven’t yet written about the growing Walter Reed scandal because I haven’t found a way to look at it from a new media perspective.
But with yesterday’s ousting of Dr. Francis Harvey as the secretary of the Army, I had to.
Wow, have heads rolled in this case. First, a barrage of NCOs. Then a captain. [...]

Part of the reason that new media seems to be stuck at the bottom of the communication totem pole at the Pentagon is because it is difficult to explain the value, the return on investment, that it has for communication.
There seems to be general universal agreement among Pentagon elites that main stream media is important. [...]

I posted about Active Denial before.
Well, it is back in the spotlight.
I don’t think that this will be the last we hear about the weapon system.
