Conversation and Community: The Social Web for Documentation Book Review
Anne Gentle
University of York
Abstract
This book offers a practitioner's perspective on using social media in developing, revising, and distributing technical documentation. It is targeted to professional communicators interested in applying tools such as blogs and wikis to elicit more user participation in the documentation development process. It would be an excellent addition to professional communication courses focused on preparing documentation and/or using new media. This book not only provides a solid overview of currently available tools, but it also helps give readers the confidence to begin exploring and participating in online conversations and communities of their own.
