UPDATE: In case you didn’t already hear, this event is now FREE; i.e., no cover charge, no ticket charge, etc. You’ll still be responsible for your own bill at The Pub, however.

New Media Cincinnati began in October 2007 as a simple meetup group of people in the Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky areas who were passionate about new and social media technologies like blogging, podcasting, Twitter, etc.

The group consists of people who are using new and social media for a living, but also includes people who are simply involved as a hobby. Anyone interested in learning more about these technologies and in connecting with others is welcome to attend. New Media Cincinnati has become, as one attendee remarked, “the premiere social networking event in the Greater Cincinnati area.” The group’s mission has grown to one of promoting digital literacy in our community.

People who come to New Media Cincinnati Second Saturdays

Topic: Privacy in Social Media

As a springboard from last month’s discussion about Google Buzz, as well as some other news over the past month about location-based social networking tools, this month we will have a panel discussion on Privacy in Social Media. We will have three panelists approach their use of social media with different levels of privacy.

As always, we will leave ample time for the open networking that so many of us enjoy.

Hey gang!

We’ve just sold out of all the tickets for tomorrow’s event. I know we’re all looking forward to getting together at The Pub tomorrow. We’ve just sold out the event!

I encourage you to check out the event page to see the list of who’s all coming; there are a number of you will be there for the first time tomorrow. We’re looking forward to meeting you!

Some things to keep in mind:

• Special thanks again to The Pub for letting us use their patio, and to Chad Middleton from Outerwoven (http://twitter.com/outerwoven) for sponsoring the event. I know we’re looking forward to hearing what he has to say about how the tax changes in 2009 affect us as employees and business owners in the coming year.
• The Bengals-Jets playoff game will be happening around the time of our meeting. That may mean that parking spaces in the Pub’s lot could be taken up. I encourage you to use the parking garage across from The Pub – it’s free, too.
• My friend Bernie Warren (http://twitter.com/berniewarren) will be helping out with name tags. I’ll have blank tags and markers for you to write your name and, if you’d like, something you’re looking forward to in the New Year. Thanks for your help in advance, Bernie!
• You are encouraged to bring your cameras, mobile devices, laptops, etc. and create content during the event about the event.
• It looks like we’re going to be able to stream the event to the internet via UStream again. Thank you again to Don (http://twitter.com/drsceifers) and Vickie Sceifers (http://twitter.com/editvdo) for all your work in getting this done!

New Media Cincinnati began in October 2007 as a simple meetup group of people in the Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky areas who were passionate about new and social media technologies like blogging, podcasting, Twitter, etc.

New Media enthusiasts came together once again for the March Meet Up for the group New Media Cincinnati at The Pub at Rookwood Mews on 3/14. The luck of the Irish was in the air and organizer Daniel Johnson Jr. was creating his Social Media magic while working the near capacity crowd with Ustream capturing the action. Approximately 55 people came together to network, drink spirits and listen to the five Jolt presenters who spoke on topics that they were passionate about for five to 10 minutes each. The presenters and topics were:

• John Buehler, “Communicating Your Web Presence“
• Kristin Beireis, “How Social Is Too Social?“
• Andy Erickson, “University of Cincinnati’s Center of Innovation Efforts“
• Heath Parks, “Starting a video blog and learning how to encode for the web“
• Vickie Sciefers: “March 2009 Changes in Facebook”

John Buehler talked about the site http://lifedigits.com/ that he is working on that will allow for one-stop shopping for all your social media information. He is looking for people to test it out, so give him a shout on Twitter if you are interested.

Kristin Beireis talked about Social Media Etiquette and keeping a balance between business and personal information. “We don’t want to know your bathroom habits!”

Andy Erickson spoke about his passion for creating a Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the University of Cincinnati.

Heath Parks spoke about video blogs and best sites and camera equipment to use.

Vickie Sceifers talked about the March 2009 changes in Facebook formatting and talked about frustrations that people were having with the site.

The discussion was lively and group members walked away with some great information, new friendships and additional business contacts. We recorded a group shout-out for Ustream and Daniel spent some of the open network time recording individual participant shout-outs for later broadcast.

The question was raised regarding “What brought you to the Meet Up?”

The number one answer was: “NETWORKING” followed by “Friends”- which is really just more networking in the WOM vein. Other answers included: the Scene, Love for social media, Twitter, New Media Cincinnati Web site, The Force Newsletter, Learning and Daniel Johnson, Jr..

See you next month for the April 11^th Meet Up. Stay tuned for upcoming details.
