The Department of Defense Trys Blogging

Over at Blogs of War, John Little has discussed the new Department of Defense blog called “For the Record.” John cites the assessment of “For the Record” by D-Ring:
For the Record has been criticized as a shoddy attempt to rebut negative conversation about the war in Iraq and the Department of Defense. All this Web site does is link to a given article from the mainstream media and blast it. And it comes across as quite petty.
On top of that, For the Record misses the whole point of a blog — community. There is no blogroll, no ability to comment, no conversation. It follows the traditional DoD model of communication that says “we will send our messages to the people from up on high.
