Columbus Social Media Cafe
Friday, November 16th, 2007
WOSU TV and WOSU radio have the megaphone… COSI in downtown Columbus… is just the spot for Columbus’s inquiring minds and they (WOSU and COSI) have already joined forces in the WOSU Digital Media Center at COSI.
WOSU and COSI hosted Columbus bloggers Thursday evening… photos, video and more on the Columbus Social Media Cafe site…. The question of the evening was:“What can we do together that we cannot do alone to change this community using social media tools?” when Columbus bloggers were invited to COSI to talk about traditional media and new media and what it can do together for the Columbus community… and the issues Columbus bloggers are passionate about…
Topics from the Social Media Cafe site:
Rallying support on-line for causes off line
