Pentagon using social networking

US General uses modern language, as social networking becomes a key tool in how the military go about recruiting and essentially just getting their message out there in front of the younger people of the US.

The army say that social networking allows the army to reach younger people aged between eighteen and twenty four, who virtually live and play on the internet twenty four hours a day.

Not only that the army, air force and navy are all active on twitter and have a huge following too, this proves that social net working is key marketing tool for any business or organisation enabling them to be able to reach people that they never dreamed would be interested in signing up big time.
