Tom Johnson (idratherbewriting.com) sure is a busy guy. He keeps me hopping with his posts! In a thematically related double-shot in Tech Comm, Tom has some tips for keeping scripts fluid when recording video tutorials. In a second post, Tom then goes on to wonder why speech is difficult for writers. Then Ugur Akinci (technicalcommunicationcenter.com) explains why “documentation plan” has two different meanings.

As we wander into User Experience, Delia Rusu (uxmatters.com) says you don’t need a title to be a UX professional. Koen AT Claes (uxmag.com) believes we should concentrate not on experience, but on the memory of an experience. And John Liang (fastcodesign.com) tells us why good design is really a bottom-line investment.

Peering over the fence into Content Curation, Kylie Jane Wakefield (contently.com) offers a post on how content creators can keep on as society goes mobile and leaves desktops behind.

We wrap this week with two Top Seven lists. In Career and Life, Susan Adams (forbes.com) offers seven ways to perfect your resume, and Luke Clum (designmodo.com) supplies seven essential tools for freelancers, especially freelance designers.
