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 last two places I had contracts with had their networks set to block
all posting to web forums under the heading of "social networking." You
could read the TECHWR-L forum but not post to it. In order to post, you
had to justify a business need *for the company.* Since both contracts
were very short term and I was mostly off-site, there wasn't much point in
doing that, but it might help explain lower traffic levels, especially
during normal M-F office hours.
