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.
You get discounts for all STC affiliated events such as Annual STC
Conference, so there is dollar value in that.
Furthermore, this has been widely and recently discussed, but there
supposedly is some value to just being a member (bragging rights,
SIGs) etc.
