Around last April, LinkedIn co-founder Konstantin Guericke was approached by Yinon Weiss about supporting an interesting twist on the social media networking model that he helped introduce back in 2003. Weiss, who served for 10 years on active duty as a Marine Corps scout and sniper platoon commander as well as an Army Special Forces officer, met with Guericke to discuss RallyPoint, a professional network for active duty members of the military and veterans alike. Weiss founded the site back in 2012 alongside Aaron Kletzing, another veteran, when they were both students at Harvard Business School. In fact, the idea literally was formed on the back of a napkin in a Cambridge, Mass. restaurant.
The two men saw their project as filling a big void for military personnel both veterans transitioning to civilian life and individuals serving on active duty often express frustration at not having guidance and networking in navigating life in and outside of the military. Flash forward three years, and the site has grown beyond networking. It is a social forum that has become an online community, sounding board, and professional guide for over 500,000 veterans and active duty men and women serving in the military.
The sites growth has made it an indispensable resource for individuals hailing from a very specialized career who didnt necessarily find the guidance and social connections they needed from sites like LinkedIn or Facebook. With the announcement last week that Guericke was joining RallyPoints board of directors the site has further established itself as a go-to social networking venue.
One of the big problems for people from the military is that they dont build a strong network, Weiss told FoxNews.com. Its not really part of the culture of the military you dont have a resume, you dont practice job interviews, you typically get assigned to places, and you dont have much influence over that. So, when you transition to civilian life, it leads to intense frustration.
Weiss said that when he and Kletzing developed the site, they looked to LinkedIn as an inspiration. With its ability to allow people to easily contact potential mentors and influencers in their chosen fields, the site that Guericke co-founded over a decade ago has created multiple imitators. For Weiss, the goal of RallyPoint was not to necessarily duplicate LinkedIn, but to instead create something that felt tailor-made for the greater military community.
The Boston-based site participated in the 2012 MassChallenge accelerator competition, winning one of the $100,000 prizes. RallyPoint has also raised $7 million in funds from the DBL Investors of San Francisco, and Weiss said he hopes that his social network will reach 1 million members by the end of next year. Currently, the site serves 10 percent of the entire military community (and 20 percent of active duty members).

New Rochelle, NY, February 19, 2015--More than 1 in 4 females have experienced cyberbullying in college, increasing their risk for depression. Female college students who acted as cyberbullies were also more likely to report problem alcohol use, according to a new study published in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking March 19, 2015.
In the article "Cyberbullying, Depression, and Problem Alcohol Use in Female College Students: A Multisite Study," authors Ellen Selkie, MD, MPH and Ya-Fen Chan, PhD University of Washington, Seattle, Rajitha Kota, MPH, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, and Megan Morena, MD, MSEd, MPH, Seattle Children's Research Institute, explored the relationship between involvement in cyberbullying--as either the person doing the bullying or being bullied--and depression or problem alcohol use.
"When counseling college students, inquiring about cyberbullying during intake assessments may help clinicians uncover stressors to be targeted during treatment," says Editor-in-Chief Brenda K. Wiederhold, PhD, MBA, BCB, BCN, Interactive Media Institute, San Diego, California and Virtual Reality Medical Institute, Brussels, Belgium.
