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.
>The difference seems simple to me. Information is a 300 page manual with
>the answer in it somewhere, but you don't know where because there's no TOC
>and no index. Knowledge is a 300 topic online Help system with a TOC,
>indexing, related topics buttons, and hyperlinks.
How about this:
Information is a 300 page manual with the answer in it somewhere. Knowledge
is a single dynamically generated web page with the exact information you
need, adapted for your skill level, the exact task you have to perform, and
the exact circumstances in which you have to perform it.
