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.
Well... because you can. Because it's a place to share with family and
friends. It's an outlet for your creative writing desires. It's a place to
share your hobby creations with other fellow enthusiasts world wide. It's a
place to share life's experiences with others who can gain from what you
learn along the way. There are a myriad of reasons why. It's social
communication and networking and relationships, just in a different venue
than the neighborhood coffee shop. Not to mention the many reasons
corporations are now blogging.
I could probably think of so many reasons why, rather than why not. But
that's my preference and admittedly not everyone feels the same way.
A good book, not new, that does a good job explaining blogging is "Naked
Conversations" by Robert Scoble and Shel Israel.
