Social Software and National Security - new paper making sense, obviating opportunity
Category Governement Social Software
Last week I had the opportunity to preview a now-released paper from the National Defense University by Drs. Mark Drapeau and Linton Wells II, a study of social software for the government titled Social Software and National Security: An Initial Net Assessment. The paper is of particular interest to me in my recent work, and has received good coverage in the blogosphere. My friend and colleague Karen Hobert (Connecting Dots) has taken an interest in the paper here, as well as Craig Newmark (of Craig's list fame), Matthew Burton, and perhaps my favorite blog entry title ever at Wired: "WTF? Miitary Web 2.0 Report Actually Making Sense."
While the paper focuses primarily on free software and sites for its examples, the clear classifications of the kinds of sharing enabled by social software leads you to obvious conclusions about where Lotus software might fit into each of the four classifications - Inward, Outward, Inbound and Outbound sharing - if positioned to do so.
