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.
Consider the Internet. The Internet is based on the ability to communicate
most issues via a medium where geography is irrelevant. Its success proves
[to me] that telecommuting is workable--even when dealing with complicated
interpersonal relationships--couples that formed their relationships online,
are getting married.
Definition of job tasks is the greatest barrier to communication of job
duties--not geography.

I got up for years, drove a long way to e-mail the workers in the next
cubicles. We had to be together for the lunch-time bridge game but hey, with
a little technical help, our bridge game could be played over the Internet.
