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.
Though, I have noted that some magazines in some
industries really have you submit a review which they
then edit and publish. In other words, in my
experience not all these reviews are really objective
nor are they all done by the magazines as you would
think they have been.
Of course, maybe this is not true of the magazines you
cite. Maybe eWeek does its own independent review of
each product and does not solicit content nor consider
marketing or advertising by the manufacturer whose
product they review.
Cheers,
Sean
