  1. Lance M from Canada writes: Interestingly the US military has been using MySpace as another place to recruit. The US Army pulled its ads because of predation that has occured there and did not want the association, but the US Air Force and Marines continue to use it as another avenue of recruitment.
  2. admore inches from Toronto, Canada writes: The US Military is no different than any other industry that needs to recruit people and must use other, non - traditional avenues. I think it is a good idea and wonder (from a professional perspective) how effective it is working.
  3. Patrick Dunn from London, Canada writes: Is it really the US Military's fault if you agree to enlist? You do sign a bunch of legal documents you know. Agree with #2. Marketing only works if you don't notice it for what it is.
  4. Jack Robinson from London, Canada writes: As a 57-years old Geek who's been screwing around on-line for nearly 20 years in various, subversive incarnations... this latest 'study' in Cyber Behaviour comes as no surprise. As Boomer Angst grows more incipient, so will it's self-centric exploitation of digital media to compensate for our collective culture's dysfunctionality... as will the Use-Boob Culture that hyper-drives it.

  5. Jimmy K from Toronto, Canada writes: ...and I think that's why college kids all use facebook.
  6. Helen Pettingill from Ontario, Canada writes: Good. That might make it less appealing to my 13 year old daughter.
  7. Fafnir Gorgon from Toronto, Canada writes: The 57-year-old Geek (#4) clearly demonstrates the difference between Geeks ('mantra of me') and those who understand sociological phenomena. You should get out more, Mr. Robinson.
  8. Brad Reddekopp from Hazelton, Canada writes: Geez... Jack Robinson (#4) says "Mantra of Me" as if being self-centric is bad. How absurd.
