My email inbox has been filling up with messages from those of you who are outraged that the Marine Corps has apparently banned their troops from using Facebook and Twitter and other social networking. Well, the only reason I haven’t mentioned it is because McQ did such a great job of explaining it all yesterday at Blackfive.
To summarize, they’re just enforcing restrictions that were already in place and it seems the ban is only to affect the USMC’s network – like many employers do to conduct business.
But “good lookin’ out” to all of you who emailed.
The Army just recently allowed access to these same websites. But we still can’t use thumbdrives.
Matt – Look on the bright side: the Army’s going to start using Vista! Oh wait…
