Air Force launches anti-blog campaign
Bloggers: If you suddenly find Air Force officers leaving barbed comments after one of your posts, don’t be surprised. They’re just following the service’s new “counter-blogging” flow chart. In a twelve-point plan, put together by the emerging technology division of the Air Force’s public affairs arm, airmen are given guidance on how to handle “trolls,” “ragers” — and even well-informed online writers, too. It’s all part of an Air Force push to “counter the people out there in the blogosphere who have negative opinions about the U.S. government and the Air Force,” Captain David Faggard says. […]
The flow chart lays out a range of possible responses to a blog post. Airmen can offer a “factual and well-cited response [that] is not factually erroneous, a rant or rage, bashing or negative in nature.” They can “let the post stand — no response.” Or they cancan “fix the facts,” offering up fresh perspective. No matter what, the chart says, airmen should “disclose your Air Force connection,” “respond in a tone that reflects high on the rich heritage of the Air Force,” and “focus on the most-used sites related to the Air Force.”
When Eben Pagan started his career as an NLP dating instructor, he did the smart thing and changed his name to David D'Angelo. Somehow, military Information Operations lacked the foresight to do the same for Captain Faggard.
This has already happened to me. FREAKY
Where did it happen to you at?
In total, I have been making blogs for around 2 months, although I cannot seem to get anyplace. I just keep going off on tangents, and not utilizing a blueprint or approach. I surfed around and saw the method Blogging to the Bank. I heard great things about it but not certain if I am gonna purchase it. I am thinking of getting this new blogging system, i was just curious if anyone had purchased it before and what your perspective was with it.
