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.

I've belonged to both STC and the PCS since 1992, and have over the years attended both the STC annual conference and the IPCC (the PCS annual conference).
They're both great organizations that provide valuable resources, although at least to me, PCS is a little more technically/practically oriented and a little more down-to-earth. I really enjoyed the conferences (although I haven't been in several years).
And as an added bonus, IPCC is in Hawaii this year! ;)

>>Does anyone on this list belong to the IEEE PCS? It this society suitable
for techwriters in the software industry? Is it a viable alternative to the
STC?
