TroopTube Allows Military Families To Keep In Touch

Last year, security threats and overloaded systems caused the U.S. military put a ban on MySpace, YouTube and other social networking sites for active duty soldiers.  This week, in order to provide a similar platform for these servicemen and women to keep in touch with their families, the Department of Defense launched their own site called TroopTube. 

With TroopTube families are given access codes that allow them to upload videos to the site, where they can choose to make them private or public.  Anyone can view the public videos, but content can only be added with a code.  This seems to be a good compromise that will help maintain security but still allow soldiers to remain in contact with their love ones.  Its also a great way for all of us to stay aware of how our troops are doing so we can keep them in our prayers.
