TheCR team up to no good at LiNC 14 in San Francisco.
If April comes in like a lion, and out like a lamb, what does May do? It’s beautiful here in Boston today, but I hear rain is on the way. Either way, we’re still looking forward to a weekend of yard work, BBQing and relaxing. This week we shared a new Faces of Community Management post and a sneak peek into TheCR Network for any interested non-members out there. Rachel also took part in a great webinar with our friends at DNN – you can find the archived version here.
This week we have lots of great links for you, an invitation to a don’t miss webinar with Ian White from Rackspace, and of course new community and social media jobs from around the web.
- Webinar: Community Manager Spotlight with Ian – If you’re considering, implementing or managing a community-based support model this is a don’t miss webinar. Join Ian White, Manager of Support at Rackspace, as he discusses his award-winning customer support tactics.
- 56 Lessons From 20 Years of Online Community Building – Ever wonder what it takes to succeed with online community strategy and operations? Here are 56 lessons learned culled from 20 years of online community building experience.
- Mary Meeker’s Big Deck On Key Internet Trends – Mary Meeker, a partner at VC firm KPCB and one of the legendary observers of the Internet industry, is presenting her annual outlook on the industry this week at Code Conference put on by Re/code.
- The Evolution of Online Communities – Do you remember VHS tapes from the ‘80s and ‘90s? Home video was a game-changer back then, giving movies a second life and another chance at turning a profit. Then came DVDs, high-definition Blu-ray discs, and now we have on-demand Internet streaming from cable and over-the-top providers. With each step in the evolution, quality and accessibility improved.
- Disciplined Clarity About Culture – Jack Dorsey, one of the Twitter Founders and now CEO at Square, sent a quick memo to his employees (that he also posted publicly on Medium) about something that may sound somewhat unimportant: using other people’s names to push ideas.
- Digital collaboration goes deeper, gets lightweight and intelligent – Two tracks seem to be emerging with today’s enterprise collaboration tools. Either they’re becoming full-sized suites with the kitchen sink, or they’re focusing making a few core features work better than anyone else.
- Building Customer Communities Is the Key to Creating Value – What are your customers telling their friends and colleagues about your business?
- Who Manages The Community Manager That Manages Your Community? – Community management is among the fastest-growing job areas in recent years. The increasing popularity of the social networks means that companies are ever-mindful of the need to have a presence in an environment where being absent means the conversation is taking place without you, and so have cast their nets in a bid to hire community managers with a wide range of profiles.
