Mine is opening slow. Is that also somehow related to Julio's post last week? #tcchat Something @coffeethenwrite was thinking of, too |

I tend to agree. Logic in identifying content is similar but what you do with it differs. #tcchat |

Well, I worked as an indexer years ago, & I've been blogging now for a while. I think it's different. #tcchat |
|
5:13 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
When writing indexes (keywords for help, actually), it's a detailed process. ... #tcchat |
|
5:13 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
... you go through each topic/pg & pull out info you think impt. And you build as you go #tcchat ... |
|
5:14 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
I always thought of it as building a db in your head as you went. #tcchat Had to remember what you had written already... #tcchat |
|
5:15 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
... then add to it. Grew larger by the day. Had to also think of terms NOT in doc. E.g., industry terms ppl wld use to look up info #tcchat |
|
5:15 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
Interesting. Not worked as indexer but can see the skill of id'ing info is the same as SEO. The difference is WHAT to id... #tcchat |
|
5:16 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
That was the big diff. Indexing what terms weren't there. Search engines won't find those #tcchat |
|
5:16 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
...the purpose of SEO is using the info to be top of the pile. Not the same for indexing. #tcchat |
|
5:17 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
I'm thinking... now about SEO angle. #tcchat keep talking! |
|
5:19 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
This is a good ques, as SEO more impt now that everyone starts in Google #tcchat |

kemulholland:
|
#tcchat Indexing & SEO both focus on what Seth Maislin calls "about-ness" but indexing is for reader, SEO is for provider... |
|
5:20 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@robocolumn True. Indexing is about finding the info. SEO is about getting it found. #tcchat (bad structure, I know. let it go...) |
|
5:20 pm
|
kemulholland:
|
#tcchat Index takes you to what YOU want to see, SEO takes you to what THEY want you to see. |
|
5:21 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
Well, SEO does focus on keywords. #tcchat |
|
5:21 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
@kemulholland Isn't that the same? An indexer leads a user in the same way as a SEO. Maybe the purpose is different? #tcchat |
|
5:22 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@kemulholland Good way to put it. Thx, Karen. (It's still morning here) #tcchat |
|
5:23 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
I think it's different. The SEO will get you there. Once you're there, the index takes you to a specific spot. #tcchat |
|
5:24 pm
|
CharJTF:
|
#tcchat Have we defined purpose yet? Index and Search are typically different in docs (Help/PDF/print), can be similar for web. |
|
5:24 pm
|
kemulholland:
|
@robocolumn #tcchat Purpose IS different. Reader's need (I need troubleshooting info) vs. supplier's need (you need a service contract!) |
|
5:24 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
Indexing is very intense. Very focused. You're indexing info that exists, what's already written. SEO, you write around keywords #tcchat |
|
5:24 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
@kemulholland I like that :-) #tcchat |
|
5:25 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
SEO, you might change wording a bit to get the keyword in that you want. #tcchat |
|
5:26 pm
|
dfarb:
|
@robocolumn @kemulholland I'd say they were different: SEO attracts customer to action, Index empowers reader to choose relevance #tcchat |
|
5:27 pm
|
kemulholland:
|
@dfarb YES! #tcchat <- What he said. |
|
5:28 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
Out of interest do any of you add an index to printed docs? Just curious. #tcchat |
|
5:28 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
Yes, what everyone is saying. #tcchat From a pure writing standpoint, the two are night and day |
|
5:29 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
With SEO, it's part of the bigger writing picture. Part of the content dev. Indexing is after the fact & an entirely diff mindset. #tcchat |
|
5:30 pm
|
kemulholland:
|
@robocolumn #tcchat I almost always index printed manuals. Exceptions if a doc is very short or client won't pay for it. |
|
5:30 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
I always thought of indexing as putting together a giant puzzle, and all the pieces are white (or whatever color you'd like). #tcchat |
|
5:31 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
Loved indexing, but got totally burned out. Totally. #tcchat |
|
5:31 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
What % of your docs development time is indexing? Do you think of indexing whilst you write? #tcchat |
|
5:32 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
I speand more time that others here and try to think of similar terminology as I write. #tcchat |
|
5:33 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@robocolumn I think ppl would expect to see one #tcchat |
|
5:35 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@robocolumn Aha! That's indexing. Thinking of the terms as you go & writing them in. So that would apply as a mix of indexing/SEO. #tcchat |
|
5:36 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@robocolumn Do you mainly write your index when finished, or keep it in mind as you write? #tcchat |
|
5:36 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
@2moroDocs To pickup on something u mentioned earlier, do any of you compile a list of keywords to use or is it just memory #tcchat |
|
5:37 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
Also, indexes can be used to train users. #tcchat X-refs send them to terms they should use instead of another |
|
5:38 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
For instance, if industry term is x but app uses y, can have cross-ref for x & send ppl to y. #tcchat |
|
5:39 pm
|
kemulholland:
|
@2moroDocs #tcchat Maybe I should index as I go but it feels like multitasking - uses a different part of my brain. |
|
5:39 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@robocolumn If on a team building same docs, wouldn't a list be helpful? #tcchat Also, there's cont mgmt & controlled vocab 2 consider |
|
5:40 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@robocolumn How do you handle it? #tcchat |
|
5:40 pm
|
kemulholland:
|
@2moroDocs #tcchat YES oh yes - index as training tool, bring readers in using their vocabulary, introduce them to your org's terms. |
|
5:40 pm
|
kmdk:
|
Like. RT @kemulholland #tcchat Index takes you to what YOU want to see, SEO takes you to what THEY want you to see. |
|
5:40 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
@2moroDocs Exactly where I was leading to. Especially if localisation is an issue. #tcchat |
|
5:41 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@kemulholland I agree. Diff thought processes #tcchat |
|
5:41 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
I'm seeing what you're saying @robocolumn (I think) #tcchat |
|
5:41 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
We don't have a DB of keywords but I do try and instill in the others a style of keyword usage....tbc #tcchat |
|
5:42 pm
|
kemulholland:
|
@2moroDocs #tcchat in team indexing, a list of terms is essential. Also, in my experience, one person needs to be the gatekeeper. |
|
5:42 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
Is this right? You need to keep keywords in mind as you write, using your own or team's list. Then still build index afterward #tcchat |
|
5:43 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
e.g. cross reference between similar terms, multiple uses of verbage, etc. #tcchat |
|
5:44 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
Can I play devils advocate here and say all this depends on the value you place on an index. #tcchat |
|
5:44 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@robocolumn That's great. That helps with content mgmt & controlled vocab. #tcchat |
|
5:45 pm
|
kemulholland:
|
@robocolumn You can play devil's advocate if I can play customer's advocate & say it depends on how much your customers need it. :-) #tcchat |
|
5:45 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@robocolumn Absolutely. Excellent point. #tcchat |
|
5:46 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
& with the need to get docs higher in search results, more impt than ever to get everyone on the same page, keyword-wise #tcchat |
|
5:46 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
@kemulholland Looks like the battle lines have been drawn ;-) #tcchat |
|
5:46 pm
|
techcommdood:
|
@2moroDocs Indexing also involves adding in unused terms that people may be looking for. dog: see 'canine' #tcchat |
|
5:47 pm
|
robocolumn:
|
@kemulholland Does that make your choice of weapon or mine? #tcchat |

15 mins left. Not trying to stop this disc (keep going!), but need to ask: any other questions out there? #tcchat |

5:48 pm

2moroDocs:
|
@techcommdood Very true. That's a great opportunity to train people to use what you'd prefer they use #tcchat |
|
5:49 pm
|
kemulholland:
|
D'oh. Left out #tcchat tag. In this battle, the budget is the weapon. Big, customers get index. Small, no index. Devil may be invoked. :-) |
|
5:50 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@techcommdood That includes industry terms, competitor's terms (if it's x in one app and y in yours, u shld mention x & direct to y) #tcchat |
|
5:51 pm

|
@kemulholland try using http://tweetchat.com/room/tcchat That way the hashtag is automatically added #tcchat |
|
5:53 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@robocolumn Forgot about the localisation aspect. Good point. #tcchat |
|
5:53 pm
|
techcommdood:
|
@2moroDocs Well no. It's not about training, it's about meeting varying expectations based on location, knowledge level, familiarity #tcchat |
|
5:55 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@techcommdood What I meant was to train them to look something up by a specific term... #tcchat |
|
5:55 pm
|
kemulholland:
|
@techcommdood #tcchat Knowledge level- YES! Example: Adobe Illustrator help. If u don't know that a vertex is a control point, u r screwed. |
|
5:56 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@techcommdood You have those terms re location, etc. you mentioned. But u list them once & send to where you want them to go later #tcchat |
|
5:56 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
That way, you also don't have to repeat everything under another keyword (or whatever) #tcchat |

6:12 pm

|
7:15 pm
|
techcommdood:
|
@2moroDocs No, you don't want to train them to look up under a specific term in the event you are wrong in their context. #tcchat |
|
7:15 pm
|
techcommdood:
|
@2moroDocs Yes, that was what I was saying. #tcchat |
|
7:16 pm
|
techcommdood:
|
@2moroDocs @kemulholland No, not train users to think the way you want them to. You should know and anticipate your audience. #tcchat |
|
7:17 pm
|
techcommdood:
|
@2moroDocs @kemulholland You may use a specific term but they may always call it something different and in that case they're right. #tcchat |
|
7:30 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@techcommdood Oh, good. Thx for checking to make sure it was correct interpretation. :) #tcchat |
|
7:32 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@techcommdood See ur point. You do need to b aware. But I also think you need to keep cont vocab in mind, too. So, it's both, IMO #tcchat |
|
7:40 pm
|
techcommdood:
|
@2moroDocs "cont vocab" - dunno what you mean there (darn Twitter!) but you need consistency without sacrificing familiarity #tcchat |
|
7:42 pm
|
techcommdood:
|
@2moroDocs And, you have to understand that consistency does not always lead to familiarity. Can lead to animosity. #tcchat |
|
7:49 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@techcommdood Oh, sorry. Controlled vocabulary. (Perfect ex of what you're talking abt re looking for info & context...) #tcchat |
|
7:50 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@techcommdood Good point. A fine line. Probably case-by-case for some things. #tcchat |
|
7:51 pm
|
techcommdood:
|
@2moroDocs Yes, controlled language but with controlled alternatives for search and index. #tcchat |
|
7:54 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@techcommdood Well, now I'm confused, Bill. I think that's what we meant, perhaps: controlled alt for search/index. @kemulholland ?? #tcchat |
|
7:56 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
I think you have to make some decisions abt terminology, and which to essentially x-ref 4 SEO/index, which to keep more open. #tcchat |
|
8:03 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
IMO, I'd focus on SEO more. & there are many aspects of it. Not just keywords. Also inbound links, visibility & ranking of ur site. #tcchat |
|
8:05 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
Other things I've noticed. FB always ranks high. YouTube also ranking high. (Want to test the latter more.) So... #tcchat |
|
8:05 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
I definitely recommend setting up a FB pg for your docs (or co, at least). Also, create a YouTube channel ... #tcchat |
|
8:06 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
Why not make some videos that have content/terms you want ppl to use? Kind of a back way in, but it might help! #tcchat |
|
8:07 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
Twitter accts also rank high. Which brings to mind something else ... #tcchat |
|
8:08 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
A few months back, saw an article re search engines ranking higher based on "authority" in socmed. ... #tcchat |
|
8:09 pm
|
2moroDocs:

So maybe set up a T acct for docs, support & get it going strong. #tcchat |

2) lyrics re younger generations: "they'll learn much more than I'll ever know" (I think that applies to TW work, don't you? #tcchat |

Ok. S2 of #tcchat starts now. Open-mic. What do you want to discuss? |
|
2:04 am
|
mojoneill:
|
Curious about thoughts on growing alignment of traditional content strategists and tech writers. Can anyone regale me with stories? #tcchat |
|
2:04 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
I'll toss something out there. Came up yest. Any thoughts on what courses, topics, etc you've taken ovr the years that helped most? #tcchat |

@mojoneill Hi Michael - give me a sec. Busy couple mins here at the 'ol homestead #tcchat |
|
2:07 am
|
mojoneill:
|
@2moroDocs info. design, knowledge management, project management, psychophysics, creative writing, journalism, + domain classes. #tcchat |
|
2:07 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
@mojoneill Not exactly sure what you mean. Ive been seeing things about differences, not alignment as much #tcchat |
|
2:07 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
But, that's me. #tcchat |
|
2:08 am
|
mojoneill:
|
@2moroDocs seriously, it's kind of hard to think of a class or book or domain that doesn't inform techcomms. #tcchat |
|
2:09 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
@mojoneill thx. that was sending as yours was being transmitted, I think. Should we tackle yrs first? #tcchat |
|
2:09 am
|
mojoneill:
|
@2moroDocs interesting. What's your take on the divergence? #tcchat |
|
2:10 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
@mojoneill very true. Was just thinking tho, that of all classes, db design & xml are ones I've used most #tcchat |
|
2:10 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
@mojoneill thinking that there's more traditional thinking and newer methods coming thru. Sometimes they don't agree #tcchat |
|
2:11 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
This is kind of fun. Two convos going on at once. The magic of Twitter... #tcchat |
|
2:11 am
|
mojoneill:
|
@2moroDocs one for each hemisphere of our brain. :P #tcchat |
|
2:12 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
@mojoneill then we need a tech disc and a creative one #tcchat |
|
2:12 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
which is which? #tcchat |
|
2:14 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
perhaps the trad/TWs a mix, perhaps. Tech for setup, creative in application somehow? #tcchat (or am I reaching here?) |
|
2:17 am
|
mojoneill:
|
@2moroDocs I don't think you are reaching. Looking for opinions. #tcchat |
|
2:18 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
RT Looks to me like content strategy is having a flourishing renaissance thanks to work of @Halvorson and others leading the charge #tcchat |
|
2:19 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
(sorry; missed that one) #tcchat |
|
2:20 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
@mojoneill That's good to know. Content strategy more impt now, seems like #tcchat |
|
2:22 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
@mojoneill what are you seeing w/regard to content strategy & TWs. Any more info? #tcchat |
|
2:23 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
Do u think that content strategy is changing due to all the new tech & methods being developed? #tcchat |
|
2:25 am
|
mojoneill:
|
@2moroDocs No. I think Content Strategy is evolving. I don't think you can really be an informed TW without an understanding of CS #tcchat |
|
2:27 am
|
mojoneill:
|
@mojoneill I know many a CS who have their roots in TW. (not a necessity). http://bit.ly/Iuu8A #tcchat |
|
2:28 am
|
mojoneill:
|
@2moroDocs I wonder if any of the #contentstrategy crew would chime in about their perspective of how their field is evolving. #tcchat |
|
2:29 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
@mojoneill Agree with that. #tcchat |
|
2:30 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
@mojoneill Thx for the link. Basically, looks like content mgmt, info arch & more wrapped up into one. #tcchat |
|
2:31 am
|
mojoneill:
|
@2moroDocs yep. everything that's important in quality tech comms applied to a diff domain. #tcchat |
|
2:31 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
Seems like everyone is a content strategist, since you have to consider all that up front #tcchat |
|
2:32 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
seems inherent in (to?) the work, don't you think? What we've been doing; just a title applied to it #tcchat |
|
2:33 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
or am I missing something and getting everyone mad at me again - #tcchat |
|
2:35 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
websites, content mgmt, taxonomy - all what we do, or shld be doing up front. planning, editorial calendars & such #tcchat |
|
2:35 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
(not disagreeing; just putting out thoughts) #tcchat |
|
2:36 am
|
mojoneill:
|
@2moroDocs sure. I don't think you're upsetting anyone. There is certainly overlap. #tcchat |
|
2:40 am
|
mojoneill:
|
@2moroDocs Well, I think it's yet another specialization in this domain we all work in. IMO it's an incredibly good thing for all. #tcchat |
|
2:41 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
@mojoneill I think I'll close this early today. :) Thanks for coming by. Will keep content strategy on the watchlist - #tcchat |
|
2:42 am
|
mojoneill:
|
@2moroDocs Hehe... OK. Seems like we've scared everyone off! ;P #tcchat |
|
2:56 am
|
2moroDocs:
|
@mojoneill Nah - thx for bringing up the topic. Haven't been watching that one as much. Good to have focus on it #tcchat |
|
9:58 am
|
robocolumn:
|
@mojoneill @2moroDocs Maybe the issue of CS could be a subject for a future #tcchat session. Read with interest dialog after I left y'day |
|
4:41 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@robocolumn Thx for the suggestion. Looks like @mojoneill wld b interested, too. Glad u fnd yesterday's continued convo interesting #tcchat |
|
4:42 pm

2moroDocs:
|
Busy day ahead. However, want to share next plan for #tcchat: opening it up for ppl to learn how 2 moderate. ... |
|
4:44 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
... If you want, could set up to cohost a session to learn how. #tcchat Think it wld be good to know in case u want to host one 4 ur work |
|
5:39 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
There r so many topics 2 cover. I'm going to start choosing some #tcchat Topics of Day & just open it up. HTML5 article made me think of it |
|
5:42 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
in case you're wondering, Topic of the Day means just comment whenever you'd like at any point. No planned live disc at set time. #tcchat |
|
5:55 pm

I've seen CS generally applied to enterprise content and project-based. Should one specify or is the concept the same? #tcchat |
|
6:14 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@bjimeneziii Hasn't been my primary focus, so I can't say. Perhaps there's an expert that could provide more info?? @mojoneill #tcchat |
|
6:18 pm
|
2moroDocs:
|
@bjimeneziii I say that based on article @mojoneill posted yest. Will RT. Think it's a combo of what have been doing, but, maybe not #tcchat |
|
6:20 pm
|
2moroDocs:

Working on the moderator signup G Docs spreadsheet again 2day. Need to type up a few notes, then will publish later today for sure. #tcchat |

mojoneill:

@2moroDocs TW interested in #contentstrategy? I'd follow @Halvorson and check out her book on CS for the Web | http://amzn.to/gw0mMb #tcchat |
