Second Saturday Recap – Colleagues or Competitors? (VIDEO)

Yesterday was another great New Media Cincinnati Second Saturday, in which people in the area passionate about social media and networking came together.  We held the event again at The Pub at Rookwood Mews in Cincinnati.  Based on the attendee list, about half the people who RSVP’d were attending for the first time. Do check it out to connect with people if you haven’t already done so.

Colleagues or Competitors?

Probably one of the least technical discussions we’ve had in some time, the topic I moderated was “Colleagues or Competitors.” Below is the series of videos from the UStream channel. See how many people you can recognize. As the host, I kept wondering if the topic was intriguing enough because people kept going back to their devices. It turns out they were just updating Twitter. Do check out the Twitterstream, following the #newmediacincy hashtag.
