About posting ads:
Announcements on the TECHWR-L Premium Announcement posting 
cost $50 to contact over 5100 TECHWR-L subscribers
directly each day for a week. 

In an effort to provide a free service that allows you to post 
announcements, jobs, and events, however, we have established other 
services:

The TECHWR-L Calendar provides a free resource for you
to post announcements, activities, and events:
http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/calendar/

The TECHWR-L Employment Central provides a free resource
for you to post, browse, and search job listings and personal
profiles: 
http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/employment/

The TECHWR-L Daily Summary Mailing, a separate mailing list
that summarizes new content posted to Employment Central and
the Calendar, can further help get your 
message out to interested people: 
http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/daily-announce-info.html


These resources are available at no cost to anyone, posters 
or seekers, TECHWR-L subscribers or not. We encourage you to
regularly use these free services.

want to be mailed directly to all 5100+ TECHWR-L subscribers
