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.
1. Tech writers edit EVERYONE's content. I started to read a book called "Traffic - Why We Drive the Way We Do", and found myself editing it more than reading it. Especially when he listed eight things about traffic - Numbers 1, 3, 4, 8 and 7. Hmmmm... I gave up and gave the book to charity - full of redlining!
2. Chris Morton's sense of humour is too subtle - as noted by his e-mail address.

After further review of the Social Media Sonar site, I have nothing but disdain for its author. Whatever value his books may provide is quickly offset by his inability to use correct grammar and spelling. His is a clear example of self-publishing gone awry.
