Community Call – This Thursday Night

I received some positive feedback about last month’s planning conference call, so I’d like to try it again.

The call will take place this Thursday, June 4, 2009, at 8 PM EDT, via TalkShoe.com. If you haven’t used TalkShoe before, I encourage you to check it out. Direct link to New Media Cincinnati Community Call. In addition to calling in via phone, they have a web client that enables chat. I’ll use that to help moderate the call. The call will be recorded and posted at the New Media Cincinnati website. UPDATE: Here are some Step-by-Step instructions for setting up.

Since this is our second time doing this as a community, I expect it to be a little rough.

The purpose of this Thursday’s conference call is twofold:

1. Discuss/review/feedback on the May Second Saturday event
2. Discuss/plan the June Second Saturday event

If time permits, we could also talk about some of the other social media groups in the area, or we could reserve this for another time. I’m still not committing yet that we’ll be doing this ongoing. Maybe someone else in the community will be willing to take the reins of hosting and producing this on a regular basis with me as a co-host. I just see a need in our community to have this discussion to help plan the events.

As with last month, we should live-tweet the phone call on Thursday, especially for those folks who are unable to make it. Here’s the Tweetchat room we’ll be using: http://tweetchat.com/room/newmediacincy Simply log-in with your Twitter account and you’re good to go!

Local Musicians! Opportunity for Exposure

Another thing I’d like to add to this is some local music in post-production to the audio from this call. A couple of artists have already given me permission to play their stuff, and I may use that for tomorrow.

If you are a local musician or band interested in getting some exposure for your music, please contact me via my podcast e-mail address: daniel AT journeyinsidemymind DOT com with links where I could download your music, giving me permission to play it here and on that podcast, etc.

Final Thoughts

I love this community. I so enjoy getting to know others who are passionate about this stuff and helping others to understand it better. Together we’re spreading the word that Cincinnati is a social media town!

Catch you online, on the phone this Thursday, and in-person on the 13th!
