Europe: Italy:New Media for tourism communication… a little thought

(Vuoi essere una guest blogger su Girl Geek Life? Scrivi con noi!)

Elena Marchiori e Nadzeya Kalbaska si occupano di eTourism presso un laboratorio dell’Università della Svizzera Italiana e condividono con noi alcune riflessioni sul turismo on-line.

…possiamo dire che il “turismo” non va mai in vacanza?
A quanto pare sì, ma soprattutto se si parla di turismo online.
Saranno i post qui sul nostro GGD, saranno le foto delle vacanze estive che continuiamo a guardare su Facebook… sta di fatto (conferma anche Google insight) che tutti – o quasi – geek e non, usano il web come fonte di informazione quando si tratta di decidere dove andare in vacanza (anche se poi, non sempre si parte).

Con il tema del viaggio (almeno quello online), con grande gioia io e Nadia cogliamo l’occasione di scrivere qui sul GGD Life (ringraziamo il team GGD per l’opportunità) per fare qualche piccola riflessione sul tema eTourism, noi che di turismo on-line ne facciamo un campo di ricerca presso il laboratorio webatelier.net dell’USI che si occupa di New Media for Tourism Communication.

Ma perché, dunque, può sembrare così interessante occuparsi di turismo online?

C’è da dire che quello del turismo è un settore instabile quanto affascinante. Il turismo è un’esperienza e come tale necessita di essere comunicata e in questo i contenuti generati dagli utenti hanno assunto un ruolo preponderante dell’information market di una destinazione online. Le decisioni d’acquisto di prodotti e servizi turistici sono ormai cambiate: i viaggiatori aspettano sempre di più la migliore offerta prima di fare l’acquisto e rimangono sempre più tempo online nel cercare informazioni sulle potenziali destinazioni. Le decisioni d’acquisto si mescolano quindi con l’aspetto sociale della rete dove i dialoghi online degli utenti (il cosiddetto eWord-of-Mouth attorno a una destinazione o hotel), vengono fruiti da altri utenti in qualsiasi fase di viaggio si trovino (ad esempio prima del viaggio in fase di pianificazione, oppure durante il viaggio o ancora al ritorno della vacanza molto spesso per condividere foto, video o scrivere reviews). L’online travel booking e il “fai-da-te”, sono l’unico canale in crescita del campo dell’hospitality con un aumento previsto del 10.5% nel 2009; e 11% nel 2010).

I numeri di chi scrive rispetto a chi legge rimangono ancora piccoli, ciò però non nega l’evidenza che Google può restituirci link che possono in qualche misura condizionare l’idea che abbiamo verso un hotel o una destinazione. Che siano pertinenti o meno rispetto alla mia ricerca, otterrò comunque delle informazioni. Essere aware è senza dubbio un passo avanti nell’intraprendere iniziative online. I risultati di uno studio della HeBS mostrano proprio come gli hoteliers abbiamo preso coscienza della portata economica della presenza online, spostando budget dall’offline all’online, focalizzandosi sul monitoraggio delle review, aumentando la pianificazione di adv nei siti social media, migliorando la search optimization e la paid search.

Ad oggi esistono numerosi servizi che offrono analisi sulla reputazione online per il settore turistico, tra tutti citiamo http://brandkarma.circos.com/ e http://traackr.com/. In tema di reputation control vi suggeriamo anche il motore di ricerca per persone: http://www.123people.com/.

Cercare quindi di capire le dinamiche di un ambito in crescita come quello dell’eTourism, capire come i consumatori ricercano e ottengono informazioni, su come organizzano e pianificano viaggi per business e leisure, seguirne i trend, identificare le implicazioni per gli utenti e la industry, sono senza dubbio delle belle sfide (in beta costante).

Se siete interessate/i a queste tematiche non potete mancare il 10-12 febbraio 2010 a Lugano, presso l’Università della Svizzera italiana, dove si terrà la 17esima edizione della conferenza di riferimento per l’Information and Communication Technology in Travel and Tourism: ENTER2010. Noi ci saremo, speriamo di vedervi in tanti.

Elena e Nadzeya

Recap: Oct. 26 2009 with Maureen McCann!

I’d like to start our recap by thanking all of the people that attended our second Girl Geek Dinner in Ottawa.  Not only did you guys make it out on a Monday night, but some of you already even blogged about it! As organizers we are grateful for your enthusiasm and you continue to motivate us to do better with each event.

Our venue of choice this time was The Empire Grill, the room was setup in a single, and very long table.  Turns out this was the perfect setup for the exercise our speaker, Maureen McCann, had in mind.  This exercise is a personal favourite of mind, the driving force behind it is that sometimes we get so caught up in our disappointments that we forget how many great things we have to offer.  It’s a game of first impressions. You are given a colored index card and asked to write your name and a word that you feel describes you.   We were then asked to pass our card to our left, take a look at the person to our right and write on their card the car that would best describe them.  This is the first impression part.  We passed the cards to the left again and are asked to write a beverage that best describes the person a couple chairs to the right.  And so we went for a couple more descriptions.  You then receive your card back and get to read how other people perceive you (at least for that night).  Most of us found our descriptions were pretty bang on!  I guess this is good news, since HR people and recruiters are forced to make decisions based on first impressions.

But enough games.  Did you know that a US survey showed 50-60% of respondents were unhappy with their current jobs?  How about that just in the same way you perform maintenance on your car, you should be performing maintenance on your career?

Maureen self describes herself as the Simon Cowell of career coaches and says the biggest challenge people face in their careers is themselves.  Best way to save ourselves from ourselves?   3 steps:

1. Know who you are and what you have to offer.
2. Understand the local labor market.
3. Have the ability to sell yourself.  Take a look at yourself from the employer’s perspective and articulate the value you bring to the table.

Some more practical advice:

1. Don’t use Time New Roman font for cover letters and resumes.
2. Don’t use Word or Office templates…stand out.
3. Are you a designer? Why don’t you flaunt your stuff on your resume?
4. If you have 60% of the job requirements, go for it!  Don’t screen yourself out of the competition.
5. If you are looking for a senior level position and have 7 LinkedIn connection, step it up.
6. What goes online, stays online.  You’re on 24 hours, don’t leave half filled profiles.
7. Go beyond Googling yourself, setup a Google alert for your name.
8. Check out your Google Quotient (there’s a small cost for the tool, you’ll have to enter your email)

Whether you are searching for a job or looking to move up within your current company.  Don’t forget to celebrate your successes along the way.  An interview, a follow-up are all things to be proud of.  This builds up your confidence and you can tie that back to those first impressions.

Great night. Great speaker. Great company, so we are happy to call this event another huge success.  Thanks for attending, we hope we see you again before the holidays.

The Future of Media: TGGD Panel Discussion (Monday, November 9, 2009)

Every day someone is declaring the end of journalism with the rise of the Internet and social media. Internet Leaders like Eric Schmidt of Google are proclaiming:

“Within five years there will be broadband well above 100MB in performance – and distribution distinctions between TV, radio and the web will go away.”

Toronto Girl Geek Dinners is proud to present a “Future of Media” panel discussion on how media is changing including the challenges with the convergence of user-generated content and media.

We are thrilled to have assembled some phenomenal professionals who we’re sure will bring their unique perspectives to our event.

As well, she is the founder of ourfaves.com in 2007. Candice is an early adopter bridging the power of user-generated content, city search and social networking. Candice was our speaker for TGGD #10 about innovation in a tough economy, so we’re very pleased to have her moderating what will surely be a lively discussion.

Lori Beckstead
Ryerson University

Lori is an Assistant Professor, School of Radio and Television at Ryerson University. As an educator, she has a unique perspective on skills training, emerging platforms and what’s coming next. This summer she presented at The Radio Conference 09 on “Diversity in Representation on Toronto Radio”.

Lori has extensive education in science, education including a Masters in Media Production from the University of Technology, Sydney (Australia).

Angela Misri

She oversees a team of web producers and podcasters who create content for Canada’s National Public Broadcaster, specifically as it regards Radio 1 and Radio 2. Prior to managing the team, Angela was the podcaster for CBC Radio, and has worked as a Radio Producer, a Web Producer, and News
Writer for cbc.ca and various other departments in her ten-year stint at the CBC.

Europe: Italy:Intervista a Stefania Rausa, Direttore Marketing di Trovolavoro.it

L’intervista di oggi è con Stefania Rausa.

Stefania è Direttore Marketing di Trovolavoro.it, portale di recruitment del gruppo RCS. Ne abbiamo approfittato per chiederle anche qualche dritta su come affrontare al meglio i colloqui…

Ora lasciamo a lei la parola.

Stefania Rausa

Che significa essere il Direttore Marketing di Trovolavoro.it?

Significa saper conciliare competenze tecniche relative al mondo Internet, competenze tradizionali e innovative di marketing e capacità di gestione delle risorse… insomma flessibilità e multitasking.

Che cosa è il network Job Meeting & Trovolavoro.it? Come è nato?

Si tratta di un network di eventi dedicati ai giovani laureandi e neolaureati di tutta Italia. Durante queste giornate i ragazzi hanno la possibilità di incontrare i responsabili del personale delle principali aziende italiane e presentare la propria candidatura sostenendo dei veri e propri colloqui di lavoro. E’ un modo per iniziare a capire come funziona il mondo del lavoro. Per Trovolavoro.it è un momento importante per incontrare il proprio target e proprio durante i Job Meeting, nello stand di Trovolavoro.it, è possibile incontrare i nostri esperti per dei colloqui individuali di 10 / 15 minuti volti a migliorare il proprio curriculum vitae.

Quali sono i cinque consigli che daresti ad una persona che deve affrontare un colloquio?

1. Mantenere la concentrazione durante tutto il colloquio

2. Cercare l’empatia con l’interlocutore

3. Prepararsi prima relativamente all’azienda e ai suoi prodotti

4. Essere umili ma determinati

5. Valorizzare senza timore le proprie capacità.

Quali strumenti utilizzi per essere sempre aggiornata?

Le mie fonti informative sono naturalmente Corriere della Sera, sia l’edizione stampa che quella web, ma anche Repubblica, New York Times, Thomson Reuters e Time.

Quali sono i tuoi punti di forza e i tuoi margini di miglioramento?

I miei punti di forza principali sono legati alle mie capacità relazionali, che mi permettono di muovermi con fluidità in tutti i contesti.

I miei margini di miglioramento sono relativi al modo di lavorare spesso poco strutturato.

Quali sono stati gli imprevisti principali incontrati durante il tuo percorso professionale? Come sei riuscita a superarli?

Gli imprevisti principali sono sempre stati legati a momenti di mercato strutturalmente difficili. In questi momenti ho mantenuto la concentrazione senza perdere la motivazione. Ho aspettato. Senza prendere decisioni affrettate.

Tra i traguardi che hai realizzato finora, quale consideri il tuo successo più grande?

Professionalmente il mio traguardo più importante è stato il mio primo lavoro. Dovevo ancora laurearmi e avevo una passione”adolescenziale” per il denim ed in particolare per il brand Levi’s. In università (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore) Levi Strauss Italia pubblicò un bando di ricerca di stagisti. E’ stata la mia grande occasione. Hanno scelto me e dopo un anno di contratto a tempo mi hanno assunto a tempo indeterminato.

Quali sono i siti, le applicazioni online, i device che usi maggiormente e che vorresti consigliare alle Girl Geek?

Il mio strumento digitale di comunicazione più usato è l’iPhone. Di conseguenza tutti i miei tempi “interstiziali” li trascorro “con lui”. Le mie applicazioni preferite sono: Corriere.it, Facebook, New York Times, Time mobile, TED (un laboratorio di idee innovative) e All Things Digital (una sorta di blog dedicato ai new media el digitale in genere).

Quali passioni riesci a coltivare nel tuo tempo libero?

Le mie passioni principali sono la montagna, lo sci e la filosofia. Ma prima di tutto vengono le mie due figlie.

Che consiglio daresti alle Girl Geek che vogliano seguire una carriera come la tua?

Scegliere “con la pancia” e seguire i percorsi dove c’è passione.

Grazie a Stefania per la sua disponibilità.

Press Release: Geek Women Wear The Badge With Pride

On October 14th, 2009 the 3rd Girl Geek Dinner Canberra (sponsored by Google Australia) was held at the Burns Club in Kambah. The keynote speaker for the event was Senator Kate Lundy, who shared her experiences as a woman using technology through her career. Over 50 women (and men) attended the event to make it an outstanding success.The 4th Girl Geek Dinner Canberra is now being planned for February, 2010 and we are seeking women who work with Technology (in any way) to join our community. We are also seeking sponsors for our events to help raise the profile of Girl Geek Dinners, and women who work with technology in the Canberra region.

Girl Geek Dinners Canberra
The Canberra Chapter of Girl Geek Dinners was started in February 2009 by Lana Brindley, a technical writer, when other Girl Geek Dinners started up in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

Lana Brindley says “My vision for Canberra dinners is to provide a casual and fun environment, with a variety of speakers on different topics. The dinners provide an opportunity for attendees to network with like-minded people in a relaxed atmosphere. I aim to keep the dinners light hearted, and fun, with a range of speakers on different topics. It’s a diverse and interesting group, which comes through in our talk schedule.”

What Are Girl Geek Dinners
The concept of Girl Geek Dinners was introduced by Sarah Blow (London UK) 4 years ago when she tired of being one of the few women to attend technical events. The ethos behind Girl Geek Dinners is to provide a platform for learning and networking in an informal environment for geek women (that is, women who use technology). Girl Geek Dinners are always held in pubs, clubs or bars, and there is usually a speaker or three who talk for a short while on a chosen subject for the evening. Men are welcome, of course, but only at the invitation of a Girl Geek – this ensures that the event has a female majority. There are 49 active groups, and another five in the pipeline, worldwide.

Are you a Girl Geek?
If you are a woman who uses IT, you are welcome to join Girl Geek Dinners Canberra. Meet women from all walks of life who use technology in many different ways in an informal and friendly environment.

NoVA Girl Geek Dinner #4 Was So Fun!

A little late, but we had NoVA Girl Geek #4, which was also our one year anniversary last month and had such a great time.

I want to thank everyone who came out, It was nice seeing familiar faces and meeting new people.

A special thanks to Melanie (@sisarina on twitter) who heads up the #DCTwirlies, #DCTweetup and #DCTwixr events; for hipping me to Nando’s Peri Peri. It is such a great location to hold events like our girl geek dinners AND their food is seriously yummy.

An extra special thanks to Glennette Clark (@glennette) of Lazy Smart | UX and Jen Consalvo (@Noreaster) of Shiny Heart Ventures for speaking.

We are planning NoVA Girl Geek #5, the last girl geek dinner for 2009, so stay tuned for more details on that. If you’d like to speak/present at this dinner, please send us an email or a DM on Twitter.

Europe: Italy:Vi ringraziamo per la calorosa partecipazione alla GGD#9

E’ stata una serata molto interessate quella di venerdì 16 ottobre: ci siamo confrontate su come proteggere la nostra identità su internet e a quali sui rischi cui andiamo incontro. Un sacco di spunti su cui per pensare e riflettere.

Volevamo ringraziarvi tutte per la partecipazione, siete state davvero attente e abbiamo apprezzato la vostra curiosità e le vostre domande estremamente pertinenti. Un grazie particolare anche ai vostri ospiti, che hanno dimostrato di condividere con noi la passione per la tecnologia e per gli argomenti trattati.

Come al solito, abbiamo pubblicato le slide delle speakers su SlideShare, in particolare:

• “Sinistre licenze” di Frieda Brioschi
• “Cybercrime: internet e criminalità informatica” di Silvia Signorelli
• “Parlar di sé ma con giudizio: mamme e blogger e gestione della Privacy” di Paola Dubini

Nel nostro gruppo di Flickr potete vedere gli scatti dei fotografi presenti (e se per caso avete delle vostre fotografie, ricordatevi di aggiungerle e di mettere il tag GGD#9 Milano).

E poi questa volta c’è anche il servizio di RAI Neapolis, che potete vedere sul sito della trasmissione.

E per quanto riguardo il gadget a sorpresa da Philips, 2 Guy Geek e 4 Girl Geek hanno ricevuto il nuovo Energy Care ferro di stiro!

“La tecnologia al servizio dell’ambiente: ecco il primo ferro da stiro a risparmio energetico, grazie ad un semplice meccanismo presente nell’impugnatura! 20% di energia in meno, 100% rimozione delle pieghe!”

Noi Girl Geek siamo sempre più interessate ad avvicinarci al mondo “Green” quindi magari “watch this space” per una futura GGD…..Green!

Ovviamente siamo a vostra disposizione per qualunque chiarimento o approfondimento vogliate affrontare e vi aspettiamo numerose alla prossima GGD.

A tal proposito, “save the date“: ci scambieremo gli auguri di Natale il prossimo 11 dicembre.
