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.

The Webmasters' Guild has chapters in Boston and the S.F. Bay
area. None near NYC yet, but who knows -- maybe you could
start one. Meanwhile you can read their newsletter and join
discussion groups from their website: http://www.webmaster.org/.
I'm not affiliated with the Webmasters' Guild, and I make no
claims as to the quality of their programs and services.
