Imagine if you will that the Coast Guard, say in 2006-07, embraced the landscape of social media as it does today. If they, or we, were to do so we would have used sites like Amitize.com, TheHub.com, or perhaps Yahoo! 360. In doing so we would have run into a problem we’re bound to run into in the future- these three sites, though perhaps popular at a time, are now dead. Here in lies our problem.

In the current climate of daily social interaction, via the web, you’ll find a plethora of Coast Guard data flowing into our phones and computers giving us the latest gouge or perhaps a Twittered press release on an ongoing SAR or pollution case. As this is the case, and on an official level no doubt, there is without question some sort of policy in the works to deal with using social media (outside that already known for blogging). In a conversation with a fellow “social head” I posed the question- what happens when we go past our current phase of using popular services like that of Twitter or Facebook? Note I state ‘when’ as opposed to ‘if’ for it will happen and new services, or a way of doing things, will come about.

Welcome!
