10 June 2009 - As mentioned in our last posts The Serving Soldier is embracing web technology by creating accounts with Twitter and Flickr. The full potential of using these social networking sites has yet to be seen but already the response has been more than encouraging. Now we have a quick and easy way to stay in touch with the other projects set up by our funding body, as well as reaching archivists and historians throughout the world. It doesn’t stop there - we already have a number of publishing companies following us on Twitter and there are several interest groups on Flickr who will no doubt be keen to see our archived photographs. The fields provided for information and tagging will also grant us some searchable metadata on one of the largest social networking sites on the net.
Things certainly are busy for us at the moment!
