Military Video System Is Like YouTube With Artillery | Danger Room | Wired.com
This sounds like an impressive key wording and tagging system. I am very surprised it’s open to the public. How is this not secret but still many in the military are against Twitter, which is very…

Stop at a red light. Let the rain blur.

Usually, on our lunch break, we moan and stumble words over email issues or chitchat with a blur of slang about the weekend and, like, totally silly things.
Today, we had an intelligent and declarative discussion on how fantasy worlds like Harry Potter and Twilight are effecting teens and what role religion should play (vs. what it actually plays) in government. I was so proud of my coworkers and I.

Taylor Mail is one of my FAVORITE poets. Many people know him because of his poem, “What Teachers Make” which is inspiring in itself. This poem, “Totally like whatever, you know?” is a fun commentary on, you know, how we like…talk…speak.

To help this Army blog post reach its goal (to gather user submissions), I would recommend the following:
1. De-italicize
2. Clarify the intent and draw attention to the call-to-action with paragraph breaks, shorter sentences, clearer instructions and stronger verbs:
“You’ve seen the Holiday Greetings, usually produced by DVIDS, that Soldiers overseas send back to their families at home.
Now, you, Army families, can return the love.
Upload your Holiday Greetings - in photo or video form - to your social media accounts and send us the link at ocpa.osmd@us.army.mil. We’ll post them to U.S. Army social media sites for your Soldier to see.
3. Link more words other than “here” to clarify where the user is going:
“Visit DVIDShub to see their Thanksgiving greetings from Soldiers across the globe.”
4. Use a non-stock Thanksgiving picture. Try a screen grab from one of those Soldier greetings, or Soldiers enjoying a meal, or families reuniting on Thanksgiving day.
