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.

>From the "Things to watch out for" department, I believe Adobe should post
a landing page at campaignsandevents.com to provide background and add
credibility to the domain. Right now the domain cannot be found.
As a value-added service, the main site could provide links to current
survey campaigns and event appearances, as well as an archive of the survey
results. Too often I take these surveys and I don't see what results it
turned up. It would be nice for Adobe to provide a public version of their
report for use as an engagement tool.
