Thanks, Gordon. Congratulations to you, too! Hopefully with everyone talking about needed changes and finding examples, things can move forward a bit. I hope so!

Congrats on being listed (I’m still trying to get my head around it as well!).

Great post too, the pace at which the bulk of the tech comms industry moves is slow, largely because of the personality types which many of the technical writers have (which makes them ideal for the job, not so great when things need to change quickly).

Converting all this talk into action is a hard thing but it does seem there are plenty of us willing to try!

Thanks very much, everyone. I appreciate the congratulatory sentiments and nice comments.

Larry – I’m glad to be able to follow you through Twitter and your blog. That’s definitely been a benefit! It’s all worth it, for sure.

Ellen – I’m with you! Let’s move on from the old ways. I think that people can have much impact in their own companies as well. If you have more thoughts on how to move forward, let us all know -

Sarah – Congratulations to you as well. I’ve enjoyed chatting with you through varied social media outlets and following the work you and your company have been doing with regard to new ways of creating docs. Keep us all posted! To be able to be in contact with people around the world is such a gift, IMO. It’s great to have all these options for sharing and learning available at our disposal.

Anne – Sorry to hear about your injury! I’m so glad it’s working out OK and hasn’t stopped you from your important blogging. Congratulations to you as well for your inclusion on the list -

Sweet post! I can so identify. I had a run in with the blunt end of a pinata bat last year that really had me wondering if I could keep up my blog. And then I found that I was still compelled to write, still wanting to connect with like minds, and raring to go. I used to take my eyesight for granted but don’t do that any more. I don’t take my blog for granted either but I am fully aware of the work it takes. The sharing of ideas, enthusiasm, and the right email or the right recognition at the right time it all worthwhile. Congratulations!

Hallo Julie,
What a lovely post! Congratulations on being one of the most influential tech comms bloggers! I feel honored to be on the list too, and I thinknnit was a great idea from MindTouch to compile the list. It certainly got us all talking.

We are in a very exciting time for technical documentation at the moment. You’ve hit the nail on the head there. For me, one of the most exciting things about blogging and tweeting and such, is how very generous everyone is with their time and ideas. I’ve learned so much from other bloggers, and got so many new ideas from people who comment on my blog. It’s hard to think of doing my job without that extra inspiration now.

Cheers
Sarah

Extremely passionate entry – nice.

Tech writers are definitely an intense bunch – because they get so intimate with the content – how can you not be!

And all the more reason the industry needs to move fast-forward and out of old ways and styles, into new tools, and collaboration methods, and most importantly enabled strategic communications champions in organizations – inside and out.
