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 have been a member of STC for 7 years and now I pay the membership fee
MYSELF. I was also a member of the IEEE PCS for a few years when my
employer was willing to pay both STC and IEEE memberships.
I highly recommend STC and, if you can afford both, I'd add IEEE, also.
In some respects, IEEE was more interesting than STC but, because of
STC's size, the publications put out by STC cover a much wider range of
subjects.
I have not been a member of ACM.
