Wow. Somehow we’re one and half months into 2012 and very much looking forward to what the months ahead have in store.

When the New Media Cincinnati Steering Committee met recently, we talked about what we’d like the theme for 2012 to be. Two words came up: Connect and Community.

It has been inspiring for me to see how much this community has grown from just over a dozen that met together in October 2007 to what we have today. We used to just congregate around Twitter and Facebook. Now we have a Foursquare venue, a thriving LinkedIn group, and, more recently, a Google Plus page.

It’s not surprising. Over four years ago this group came about through a passion to help those of us in the Greater Cincinnati area connecting online to meet together in person. At first it was just me taking care of everything. I wised up a couple years ago and asked for those in this community who felt a burning desire to make this group the best version of itself to step forward and be a part of the Steering Committee. I have been inspired by the passion each member brings. Entirely a volunteer effort, New Media Cincinnati would not be as great of a community if it weren’t for them.

We’ve gone through some changes over the past year, with some members needing to step out. We recently asked Christiaan Todd and Daniel Lewis if they would be willing to join the Steering Committee, and they graciously accepted. Both Chris and Daniel have been around New Media Cincinnati for a long time. I’ve added links to their Twitter profiles along with the rest of the Steering Committee on the sidebar here at the website. If you have any questions or suggestions and don’t feel like talking to me, reach out to anyone on the Steering Committee.

So many stories have been told about people who’ve connected through New Media Cincinnati that have gone on to do business together or get employed. What stories will be told this year?

The theme to guide us is Connect and Community. Thank you for joining us. Let’s make it a great year!

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.”

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

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!
