Military Families Connect With Social Media Video TroopTube

Taking the same concept of YouTube, TroopTube is Military focused in helping military families connect and stay in touch with families who are out deployed overseas.

The Military has banned Youtube and other Social Media since May 2007 and military families were trying to find alternatives to video chat.  The ban was intended to prevent military Internet connections from being clogged with excessive bandwidth due to video clips.

TroopTube is accessible to 4 million members of the active military, National Guard, and reserves, as well as their family members.

Social Media has played a major role with soldiers in keeping up with family and friends through networks like myspace,facebook and youtube where share videos, images or stories about their daily lives.

Now the Military has a secure site to once again interact with families and friends through the use of video chat.
