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.
I've had the note in there for three years or so, and have gotten less
than twenty feedbacks directly related to the manual, though has been a
spike in them in the last few months. Also, the reference is to a
general "Fast Feedback" button available in our application, so I can't
really quantify how many of them saw the note in the manual as opposed
to just knowing about the Fast Feedback button.
