The first meeting Columbus Social Media Cafe was mind boggling... I was one of about 20 Columbus Bloggers at a very open and in person "forum" at COSI on Thursday evening. The question was : "What can we do together that we cannot do alone to make the community better using Social Media?"
Now this may be a real estate networking first. There were two Central Ohio real estate bloggers present. Me and gorgeous Joe Peffer (even this YouTube video does not do Joe Peffer's smile justice)... Joe is an ActiveRain member. I first got to meet Joe in person at the BlogTour USA stop in Central Ohio last summer... During BlogTour USA in July 2007 two east coast real estate bloggers, Joe Ferrara and Rudy Bachraty of Sellsius Real Estate Blog traveled cross country to evangelize blogging and talk to people (real people... not just bloggers and not just real estate people) about blogging and social media.
Ancient history... anyway BlogTour USA was the first time I met Joe and saw that smile. In one of the sessions at the Social Media Cafe I mentioned ActiveRain and the points and the value of the Active Rain points... What's the point of points on ActiveRain. What the incentive is to participate on ActiveRain and mentioned how much real estate people like having their face show up... So without further ado here is a first... this YouTube video features Joe's pretty face, great smile... and the wise words of Joe and other Columbus bloggers about what traditional media and new media getting together can mean to Columbus Ohio, "What can we do together that we cannot do alone to make the community better using Social Media?"
We had at least 4 non real estate bloggers at our Blog Tour USA stop last July, Joe was the only on I knew from that event at the Social Media Cafe. I have had a Columbus blogroll on both of my blogs for a long time... great people to network with.
