Marine Corps attracts 12,000 friends on MySpace

July 26th, 2006 francois Posted in Interesting Links, social networking | 3 Comments »

According to the seattle Post-Intelligencer (via corporate engagements), the Marine Corp has set up a profile on MySpace – complete with videos about drills and boot camps.

12,000 people signed up as friends and 430 already requested to be contacted by a recruiter.

Although this particular example is a little unsettling, using MySpace as a recruiting tool sounds like a logical thing to do.
