April 30th, 2008 — SMB Cincinnati
The turnout at the first Cincinnati Social Media Breakfast must be reflective of the total audience on social networks, passionate, knowledgeable, and committed to sharing with the community, the early adopters if you will. There were more people than I expected about 20 people, which the Holiday Inn Riverfront graciously accommodated with a separate meeting room, thank you very much. The group covered many topics, which included:
- What is more important accuracy or speed? An excellent give and take about how newspapers can allow for greater social media without undermining their main concern of distributing accurate information.
- The “Twitter Effect” on reporting, business, conferences, oh just about everything we do.
- How blogging and twitter has impacted the lives of people around the table, from finding new jobs to leaving old ones.
Now, here’s an example that I hope others can use about how the community of people work together to raise the level of the entire group. On Tuesday night I tweeted that I’d post a quick wrap up on Wednesday AM. Everyone has stuff to do so what’s here is my contribution, but I used twitter to let everyone know what I was going to do. So one of the attendees Roger Bauer saw my tweet and posted this more detailed (and his own perspective) on the issues discussed at the first social media breakfast in Cincinnati. Nice. For those of you just looking into social media or attending a breakfast, this is the kind of stuff that happens all the time in social media, whether it’s a group of technology folks, an internal group of employees, customers. (ok enough already, you get the point).
Here is a list of the folks who we were able to capture at the breakfast and their twitter name. In the spirit of social media, this commentary will be added to, refuted, corroborated, etc. etc. etc. by my new and old friends from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. All the best,

April 18th, 2008 — SMB Cincinnati, Upcoming breakfasts
The first Social Media Breakfast of Cincinnati is on Tuesday, April 29 at the
Holiday Inn Riverfront
Street: 600 W THIRD STREET
Time: 7:30am - 9:00am (casual so drop by anytime in this window)
City: Covington, KY
Map: http://maps.google.com/maps…
Contact Info: 612-325-8126 (Maruggi) or 513-240-0547 (Bergman)
Update: Because of the quick comments back, it makes sense to shoot me an email amaruggi@providentpartners.net just in case we need to set up more tables than I’ve reserved in the hotel restaurant. So thanks Michelle and MandyJ for those comments.
Chris Bergman of Cincinnati and Albert Maruggi (visiting Cincinnati that week), senior fellow with the Society for New Communications Research, kicked around the idea for holding the breakfast after tweeting about it with Daniel Johnson Jr, Cliff Ravenscraft, Krista Neher, and others. There is a good group of corporate marketers, agency and PR practitioners, and technologists in the Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati region and this a chance to create an in-person experience.
A loose outline for the group is:
highlights from the recent NewComm Forum and the Media Relations Summit,
discussion of personal networks and the value they create (aka recent issue of selling twitter profile by Andrew Baron )
Cincinnati area news, events, and people
