This week we mix in a little “original programming” with one of the great hallmarks of summer (at least in the U.S.)—time for some summer reruns. If you missed it the first time around, check out our most popular April Fools’ Day article ever. Join in our unofficial renaming of our industry by voting in this week’s poll and commenting as you see fit. And then see what everyone else is talking about in tech comm and content management with Tech Writer This Week.
Join the growing crowd—consider writing for TechWhirl as a member of the Special Writers Unit. To get in touch, just drop us a note and let us know what kinds of topics you’re most interested. And don’t forget to stop by the email discussion list for helpful, interesting, and occasionally cantankerous viewpoints on all things tech comm.
Have a great weekend!
