Hey Dave,
As the Electronic Information Coordinator for the Ohio Tourism Division (the geek who handles the social media), I'm very excited about your latest "How Social is Your State DMO?" rankings!
We've been working pretty hard lately to make sure folks can find out about all the great things to see and do here in Ohio in whichever manner works best for them. And the recent launch of our blog, DiscoveringOhio.com, was a lot of work but very exciting and I think a great addition to our offerings.
We look forward to your July rankings and seeing where we go from here!
Thanks,
Roger Barker
