TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
My impression of the discussion as a whole is that it
seems to have almost nothing to do with the point of
the original article, which was "if people aren't
reading your conventional marketing collateral, you
need to try another strategy." It seems to me that
much of the innovation that's been going on in technical
communications the past decade or so, such as online
help and embedded instructions in UIs, is precisely
that, "trying another strategy" beyond our conventional
printed books. So I'm still shaking my head and
wondering how the reactions led us to this and not a
chorus of "amens."
