La enciclopedia del community manager


Book Description

En tan sólo diez años hemos asistido a la que posiblemente sea la mayor revolución tecnológica de la historia de la humanidad. La popularización de las redes sociales y de las conexiones a internet de alta velocidad ha cambiado por completo la forma en la que los individuos se relacionan entre sí y cómo lo hacen también con las empresas, con las que establecen vínculos muy fuertes a través de la red. Sin embargo, aunque ya no podemos hablar de los inicios titubeantes de la profesión del community manager, puesto que ya ha alcanzado cierta madurez y la mayor parte de las compañías son conscientes de su importancia, aún queda mucho camino por recorrer. Por eso este libro es tan necesario, porque pretende ser el manual de consulta para los profesionales del social media, para aquellos que se estén formando en la actualidad y para los que deseen aprender a gestionar adecuadamente las redes sociales de sus negocios y empresas. La enciclopedia del community manager es una guía completamente actualizada, con técnicas y herramientas para sacar el máximo provecho a los medios sociales en los entornos corporativos. Con ella aprenderás a utilizar las principales redes sociales, como Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube o Instagram, y a sacar partido a las aplicaciones de mensajería instantánea o a las retransmisiones de vídeo en directo en beneficio de tu marca. También entenderás por qué es necesario planificar la estrategia en social media, fijar unos objetivos, realizar un ejercicio constante de monitorización de los resultados y aprender a interpretar los datos, entre otras muchas cosas. La profesión del community manager está en constante evolución y la velocidad a la que se suceden las novedades es apasionante, pero conlleva un problema: corremos el riesgo de que nuestros conocimientos queden desactualizados. No permitas que te ocurra a ti.




The Leamington Italian Community


Book Description

The Leamington Italian Community intertwines personal and family stories with both empirical and intuitive writing to offer new historical insights into the complex social, economic, and psychological causes and effects of the migration phenomenon. Walter Temelini meticulously reconstructs the history of immigration and settlement in Leamington, Ontario, of Italians from the southern regions of Lazio, Molise, and Sicily. He explains how, despite their regional differences, three generations between 1925 and the 1990s forged a cohesive, socially conscious, and unique agricultural community by balancing their inherited values and their newly adopted Canadian economic opportunities. Temelini's groundbreaking research draws on testimonial and documentary evidence gathered from in-depth interviews with hundreds of residents, as well as on original archival information and Italian-language histories translated by the author and previously unavailable to English-speaking readers. He concludes his study with an investigation into the award-winning novel Lives of the Saints by Nino Ricci, one of the community's most celebrated descendants. Drawing parallels between Ricci's narrative and the development of the community, Temelini demonstrates that ethnicity can be transformed successfully into a powerful universal archetype, and a creative force of identity. A pioneering and authoritative work, The Leamington Italian Community creates an intimate portrait within a global framework, delving into issues both timely and timeless, that will interest and inform the general and specialized reader alike.
