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 know. I deliberately have to make time to read, but I do make time.
Our audience is the one user who opens the help we write and finds what they need to get their job done.

It's not just your sister, Craig.
Have you noticed that most people today do not read?
Objectively speaking, they don't have less time than people in previous
generations. However, they fill up their time with other things. They have
raised "killing time" to an art.
It makes tech writing very frustrating. If people are not going to read what
we write, then who is our audience?
