ANNOUNCE: News about LavaCon 2005 in Hawaii

Hey All,

Here is the latest news about LavaCon:

o. Joanne Grey wrote a great recap of LavaCon 2004 in the Silicon Valley
STC newsletter. When you get a chance, check it out!
http://www.stc-siliconvalley.org/newsletter/HTML/currenttoc.htm

o. I just deployed a new web-based survey regarding LavaCon 2005. I really
need your input to make sure the conference program has what you need and
want, so *PLEASE* take a few minutes to fill out the survey:
http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB223XWW5JBAG

In exchange for your time, you will get $100 off the tuition to LavaCon
2005. I will also award a complementary ticket to Hawaii to one of the
respondents at random, so do take a few minutes to respond.

Deadline for responding: Friday, 5 December. That's two weeks away, but
please don't put it off as you might forget or be crunched for time that
week....

Thanks in advance, and have a great Thanksgiving week!

STORY: SnagIt - Get Two for $60

~~~~~~~~~~

Dan the technical writer pushed a gift bag toward his date. "What's
this?" Callie said, opening it. "SnagIt!"

"It's the award-winning screen capture software that gives you more than
40 ways to capture images, text, Web content and onscreen activities," Dan
said.

"Plus," Dan said, "The easy-to-use graphic tools let you add text,
callouts, arrows and highlights to your images. You can add drop shadows,
change sizing and use other artistic effects."

"Dan, I love it!" Callie said enthusiastically. "Oh, I hope you didn't
spend too much money on me!"

Dan thought of the SnagIt Holiday Special - Two boxed copies of SnagIt for
$60. Plus, TechSmith offered free shipping to the US, Mexico and Canada.

"Actually, I was offered quite a deal," Dan said. He produced another gift
bag. "So I got you two copies."

Dan bathed in the warmth of Callie's smile. The only thing better than
the perfect gift ... was two of them.

~~~~~~~~~~

Take advantage of the holiday special! Get SnagIt today!

You can learn the leading method for developing high-quality structured

One technical writing department using the Information Mapping method
survived a merger by convincing the new company of their value through a
usability study. This study showed how the Information Mapping method:

* Added value to the company
* Saved the company money
* Saved readers' time, and
* Reduced the errors encountered by readers.

Being able to offer this proof ultimately saved their jobs. To read the
