How the US Military is Using Enterprise 2.0 to Coordinate Haiti Relief
Social Computing Journal has a great article by Bill Ives about how the US Military is using Enterprise 2.0.
The US Miitary calls their social network TISC.
“TISC” (the Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation) is a new iteration of APAN, the All Partners Access Network, which was developed by the Defense Department a few years ago. Initially, the military was using APAN to communicate across borders, particularly in countries without sophisticated communication technology. Even in third-world countries, Internet connection seemed to be frequently accessible, so the APAN system was built to work over the Internet, to facilitate the sharing of classified files, as well as things like coordinating calendars.
