There is a tradition on Twitter to recommend favorite fellow Twitter users each Friday. I plan to use Friday's to highlight another great official Coast Guard blog or website. In week #1 I introduced The Automated Mutual Assistance Vessel Rescue System (AMVER), last week I introduced The Coast Guard Compass and today...
Back in September 2008 Admiral Allen introduced iCommandant, his blog, which was a major step in what has become a Coast Guard wide social media initiative. A few units had blogs or blog "like" features but the Commandant's approach fostered blogs across the Coast Guard. Today we have more Guardians telling their stories and the Coast Guard story than ever before.
You can read his initial intent and see the video describing the effort here:

Add iCommandant to your reading list!
Next week, the USCG Pacific Northwest blog.
