.Army Strong Stories iPhone app lets Soldiers blog anytime, anywhere
March 1, 2011
It`s crazy to see how far along the military has come in supporting social media.
Yesterday, U.S. Army Accessions Command announced the launch of a free iPhone application and a mobile website as part of its Army Strong Stories blogging platform.
"Mobile Program Enables Every Army Soldier to Blog Anytime, Anywhere" reads the headline of the press release.
Of course, Army Strong Stories does have guidelines on content and stories must adhere to Op Sec.
As a natural extension of the Army`s ongoing commitment to engage potential recruits via social media channels, the Army Strong Stories iPhone app and mobile website offer portable access to site content, while also enabling users to share their own Army Strong story, post comments, and learn more about Army service and the breadth of careers available.
With a recent Nielsen research report projecting that one out of every two Americans will own a smartphone by the end of 2011, mobile adoption is also expected to increase among Soldiers as the Army expands its smartphone test pilot program throughout the nation. Furthermore, with more than 600 Soldier bloggers now participating on Army Strong Stories, mobile connectivity remains a high priority for Soldiers looking to stay in communication with their units, bases, fellow Soldiers, and friends and family members and the U.S. Army`s mobile program will facilitate always-on connectivity.

I don't see any wrong by making blogs for military forces. Nowadays some of the transactions are being made through the use of blogs. Social media is very important because it do great tasks for the public today.
I think it's a great thing for the military to have this free iPhone application and a mobile website. They deserve it just like everybody else!
Good to know that there's an app like this that will help our soldier express their feelings and thoughts. This app is so useful to them that whenever they are they can freely blog anytime they want and anywhere they like.
