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.
In addition, Deborah Tannen's book, Talking 9 to 5
offers some interesting theories on the topic. Although
I think she makes some gross generalizations in other
parts of the book, she seems to have some valid points
about negative feedback. I don't have the book here
with me, or I'd give you the ISDN and other info. It
shouldn't be hard to find, though.
