As we begin to wrap up the 2011 season of New Media Cincinnati, it’s time to cast your vote for the NMC Digital Awards! These will be given at the November 12, 2011 New Media Cincinnati Second Saturday event. Last month we opened up the nominations so that you could share who you believe has done excellent work this year.

Thanks to Frame USA for printing the awards and donating custom frames with the NMC logo in them!

Your nominees for the 2011 NMC Digital Awards are as follows:

NMC Digital Native

Exemplary dedication to the practice and promotion of digital literacy and community building in the Greater Cincinnati area over the past year.

Brent Billock

“Brent is a rich source of digital media expertise and practice. He brings his sharp skills to the table in multiple venues and is an agile user as well as able promoter of digital media.”

“By creating SocialNati.com, Brent Billock has taken the ‘Most Social City’ designation from Mashable.com and run with it. He’s creating an easy to navigate home for social events and social media events with a Twitter stream that tells you anything the event listing may have missed. It’s important in our ‘digital age’ that we know where to go to connect socially & in person. Brent’s site succeeds in facilitating and encouraging a very social (media) city!”

Christiaan Todd

“Chris constantly shares his knowledge of the latest and greatest in digital and social media whether it is platform changes, social media policy, new apps or events in the news within many digital communities like LinkedIn Groups, Facebook Groups, email and at New Media Cincinnati meetings. Photographer by day, he is a consummate social media pro 24/7 and someone who’s opinion I respect.”

Crystal Thies

“As the LinkedIn Ninja, Crystal has done a phenomenal job this year in helping businesses and individuals better brand themselves and use LinkedIn better. Locally, she’s given presentations and taught us how to get the most out of our profiles. I especially liked her talk at the Clermont Chamber on things you didn’t realize you could do with LinkedIn.”

Daniel Lewis

“Daniel has been doing an amazing job making PodCamp Cincinnati happen.”

Debba Haupert

“With Girlfriendology, Debba is a master of digital community building, and has grown her network tremendously since she first attended New Media Cincinnati.”

Joe Robb

“Joe has always put himself out there for anyone that has needed expertise in this realm. He’s well versed in all Social Media aspects and shows a tremendous amount of enthusiasm whenever the topic of social media is being discussed. He has numerous how to sites and videos that help our clients when we engineers are too busy to explain it all.”

Michelle Hummel

“Started a class to teach different uses of social media. The Web Media Expert brand is active and constantly posting about community.”

NMC Digital Giving First

Outstanding support toward members and potential members of the New Media Cincinnati community by sharing expertise and raising awareness through education and example both within meetings and during after-hours over the past year.

Daniel Lewis

“Daniel’s work to make PodCamp Cincinnati a reality and his desire to bring members of the social media community of Cincinnati together to make it happen and work as a team makes him a perfect candidate for the Digital Giving First Award.”

“Extraordinary effort in bringing PodCamp Cincinnati to town! Daniel has a tremendous vision and enthusiasm for education and content creation within the social media space and beyond! It’s been a pleasure and honor to work with him as he led the PodCamp Cincinnati Planning Committee. In addition, he always made himself available to answer questions and broaden my scope of understanding. Highest regards and recommendation!”

“Besides coordinating the incredible ‘PodCamp Cincinnati’, Daniel has been a huge advocate and supporter of New Media Cincinnati. He is constantly attending the meetings and speaking up to support members of the organization. I find myself continually inspired by his leadership, expertise, and dedication to supporting our community at large.”

Matthew Evins

“Matthew stepped up to volunteer as co-host on the New Media Cincinnati podcast with Daniel Johnson, Jr. this year.  He and Daniel have been going through the NMC LinkedIn group and other sources, sussing out relevant discussions to share with the community.”

NMC Digital Go The Distance Dedication

Sincere dedication to attend New Media Cincinnati events. Person who has dedicated his or her time, energy, and resources to consistently travel a great distance to listen, learn, and contribute to New Media Cincinnati.

Ann Lightfoot

“Ann travels deep from the southern fields of Kentucky to make the monthly New Media Cincinnati meetings. She is always there with a smile and shares her experience with the group. She travels over 2 hours round trip to join us!”

“Ann has been a dedicated member of New Media Cincinnati since I have first ever attended. She is constantly exuding a positive attitude and always is passionate about connecting others. With a constant smile, she actively engages in the discussions and has fostered many inspiring discussions. I nominate Ann Lightfoot for the NMC Digital Go the Distance Dedication Award.”

Brandon Kilby

“He’s always there & approachable! Not sure his is the farthest commute, but it’s a commitment that he upholds to enhance the NMCincy community. In addition, he has stepped up and presented to the group. Kudos!”

Tom Rockhold

“Tom Rockhold doesn’t live in the Cincinnati area. He lives just outside the Columbus area but is passionate about being involved in the New Media Cincinnati community. So much so, that he drives almost every month to spend time with us. I understand he’s donated equipment that is used during events, too.”

Welcome to episode 001 of the New Media Cincinnati podcast, with your hosts, Daniel Johnson, Jr. and Matthew Evins.

This episode was recorded on Thursday, August 11, 2011. We met in-person at an Arby’s in Fairfield, Ohio and shared some of the discussion going on in the LinkedIn group, as well as about Sir Paul McCartney playing in Cincinnati recently.

Running time: 27:04.

01:40 Excitement around the August 13, 2011 NMC Second Saturday event. One in three people registered are coming for their first time. In 2011 there have been many new faces showing up at these events, demonstrating a continued interest in this space.

03:00 Sir Paul McCartney in Cincinnati last week for a concert at Great American Ball Park. Some are suggesting this might have been his last concert ever in Cincinnati.

04:23 Other bands from the 80′s in Cincinnati also last week: Journey, Foreigner, and Night Ranger. A couple days beforehand, Journey played on the Today show, sounding just as good as ever.

05:17 Business Week names Cincinnati 3rd most booming city for technology jobs.

07:05 NMC LinkedIn group – open for discussion but beware of the community banhammer for self-promotion.

08:41 Lisa Desatnik asked about suggested for preventing spam trackbacks on her WordPress blogs. Daniel uses the Disqus commenting plugin; Matthew uses a commenting plugin that uses Facebook Connect. Try Akismet (no longer free), Bad Behavior, Spam Karma (neither of have experience with that one)

14:17 Poll shared by Joanne Maly: Will You Abandon Facebook for Google Plus? – Most people say they won’t just yet.

15:14 Charles Egerton shared a link: Why Texting Is the Most Important Information Service in the World

16:50 Props to Crystal Thies, the LinkedIn Black Belt Ninja, for sharing things you didn’t realize you could do in LinkedIn for Tech Tuesday at the Clermont Chamber of Commerce. Very interesting are the different applications, honors/awards, projects, custom company pages, and using Signal to search status updates.

At last week’s Second Saturday event, we mentioned that the November event will be the last one for 2010. This is a great opportunity to reflect on what has happened over the past year and how we’ve changed through our involvement in this space. Last year when we did this, it was an inspiring discussion.

New Media Cincinnati Digital Awards

This year we are adding something more: New Media Cincinnati Digital Awards. This, the Steering Committee believes, is a great opportunity to recognize and encourage those who have done great work, not only in our community but also in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Here’s how it works.

Nominations may be made for one of the categories below. Please include a brief statement as to why you feel this individual deserves to be recognized and include links that may be helpful to support your reasoning. Supporting evidence is not required, but it does go a long way in helping the Steering Committee to understand your reasoning.

• You may nominate yourself
• Nominations will be accepted beginning Monday, October 11, 2010 through 5 PM on Wednesday, November 3, 2010.
• Nominations will be emailed to daniel AT newmediacincinnati DOT com

NMC Digital Native Award

Exemplary dedication to the practice and promotion of digital literacy and community building in the Greater Cincinnati area over the past year.

NMC Digital Giving First Award

Outstanding support toward members and potential members of the New Media Cincinnati community by sharing expertise and raising awareness through education and example both within meetings and during after-hours over the past year.

NMC Digital Go the Distance Dedication Award

Sincere dedication to attend New Media Cincinnati events. Person who has dedicated his or her time, energy, and resources to consistently travel a great distance to listen, learn, and contribute to New Media Cincinnati.

The New Media Cincinnati Steering Committee will evaluate all submissions. The winners will be awarded at the November Second Saturday event on November 13, 2010.

NOTE: I originally wrote this yesterday but had problems publishing it.

Today is somewhat of a special day for the New Media Cincinnati community, because it’s the birthday of someone, without whom, the group might not have been possible.

In late Summer / early Fall 2007, I’d been connecting with a lot of people in the Dayton and Cincinnati area online through Twitter and Facebook. More and more people in Cincinnati were interested in meeting up in-person, but I didn’t want to create a group. I didn’t have time for it, etc. Still, no one had stepped up to meet the need.

One of the people I’d connected with on Twitter was Andy Osier. He and I had also connected elsewhere through a number of online groups, and we have been Instant Messaging buddies for quite some time. When I mentioned the growing interest in a meetup group for people in the Cincinnati area, he also was interested in helping out. I suggested the name New Media Cincinnati, and that we could get the domain name. He got the domain name and set up a Facebook group for us to organize around. He also created the LinkedIn group.

Andy still comes around to our monthly gatherings occasionally.

Please join me in wishing him a very Happy Birthday! Andy, New Media Cincinnati might not have been if it wasn’t for you. Thank you, man!

Earlier this month we met for the first time at Molly Malone’s in Covington and talked about the need for a Steering Committee to help move the group forward.

Please join me in congratulating the following people, who stepped forward and were accepted by the group to be the inaugural New Media Cincinnati Steering Committee.

They are listed in no particular order, except how I’d written them down (links to their Twitter accounts):

• Mary Beth Dunn
• Anne Castleberry
• Don Sceifers
• Margo Rose
• Michelle Beckham

I’d like to take a moment to share my thoughts on having a Steering Committee for New Media Cincinnati. I’m loosely gathering them around the concepts of people, planning, and purpose. I’d love for you to share your thoughts in the comments.

People

It’s been amazing to see how this group has matured over the past three years, to the point where members of the community are willing to share their vision for what it can do. I speak of members, but, as you know, this term is relatively loose in its definition.  Chances are, if you’ve been to a New Media Cincinnati event, are connected to our presence online, I consider you as part of the community.

Obviously some are more active than others. Some of you have been coming around since that first get together at the Golden Corral in Middletown back in October 2007. Others have been regulars since we met at the Panera near Tri-County Mall.  Others have only just begun to spend time with us online and in-person.

To me, the group has always been about connecting in-person. Connecting online is so easy. Some might argue it’s too easy, because it’s possible to hide online. Showing up and being present in-person takes courage. It shows that you’re interested in further developing the relationships you are (or have begun) building online.

Planning

Putting together an event takes planning. It’s not enough to say, we’re meeting here at this time. It was at first, but now, we need to have a place that not only will be able to hold everyone who comes, but also will meet other needs.  In addition, there are communication expectations that the community has and administrative things to be done.

And there’s the outreach, care and feeding of people new to the community as well as those who have been around for some time.  How do we keep the events interesting? How can we meet the needs of people who are new to this space as well as those who are not?

Furthermore, is there an opportunity to get paid for time spent in running the group? We’ve explored this at times in the past, and I believe there is. What events other than the Second Saturday event could we hold that would really meet some of the needs, ones that could be conducted for a fee, perhaps?

Purpose

For almost three years, I’ve done much of the organizing, planning, promotion, and running these events. I don’t have time to do this all by myself, and I’ve been relying on others more and more.  And for this group to become the best version of itself, there needs to be others who share in this passion, too.

The roles of the New Media Cincinnati Steering Committee are as broad as they are important:

• Serve as a sounding board for the rest of the community, whether those who are brand new or those who have been around for some time.
• Serve as community direction committee to help set priorities and strategy for the group, both online and offline.
• Organize and run subcommittees as needed for the monthly and other special events.

The Steering Committee could consist of 4 elected members of the New Media Cincinnati community. These members are nominated by their peers, or members can nominate themselves, describing why they believe they should be elected. Eventually we would have 6 members with three positions coming up for re-election each year. This set up would provide a combination of consistency while providing the opportunity to gather fresh ideas and approaches each year.
