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.
My personal theory on the resurgence of usability? It's the Apple
effect. Companies tend to look at the big players and ask "What are
they doing that we aren't?" And Apple puts a lot of though into their
design. People like their products because they're easy to use.
Thus, companies are starting to realize that "easy to use" is
something that customers want.
Personally, I thought this should be obvious, but hey, what do I know,
I'm just a technical writer/user advocate. ;-)
