It was awesome to take part in the DoDLive Bloggers Roundtable with Mr. Price Floyd, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, talking about the launch of the new defense.gov website and the new social media strategy of the DoD. You can listen to the whole roundtable discussion on defenselink.mil. It was an excellent opportunity for people interested in the new media strategy of the DoD to ask questions, give feedback and propose ideas for implementation.
I did manage to ask two questions on:
1. DoD new media strategy for Global audiences.
2. Twitter messages for DoD policy communications - engaging with people online.
All the other Bloggers were excellent in their remarks; Mr. Price Floyd responded on military families and the Internet, technical stuff on webpage management and Social media strategies to connect and engage with people online.
I was the only blogger from overseas (currently in Vienna, Austria) and I believe that there is a International audience for the DoD messages. The new website and social media strategy of the DoD will have global appeal in connecting and communicating with people on the ground, where the U.S. has a military presence, but also communicating DoD projects, actions and initiatives to the entire world. People have the opportunity to talk directly, keep connected and engage in a dialogue with the DoD.
By being proactive in utilizing online technologies the U.S. DoD is setting a precedent in e-gov communications in social and new media.
Looking forward to a future discussion on a DoDLive Bloggers Roundtable.
