@perlentaucher00 Hi, Euer Web Site-Zertifikat ist abgelaufen, und Firefox sagt deshalb, Ihr seid unsicher. Nur so als Hinweis

"User-centric" doesn’t mean using personas in yr design process, but empathizing with people who buy yr products. https://t.co/xltHS0mxVX

So you can get Google Docs contributions into #MadCap #Flare, e.g., via @MattiasSander's Kaizen plugin... #techcomm https://t.co/5zDSfEdoZc

@MattiasSander I would turn "documentation" into "content" (as corporate asset). And make it more obvious that you're into CONTENT processes/optimization.

[Kai Weber @techwriterkai]

@MattiasSander Focus on Flare in the second sentence may limit your audience/customer base more than is necessary.

[Kai Weber @techwriterkai]

@MattiasSander Too much text. No pictures that invite me to feel a certain way about the company.

@MattiasSander Making writers more efficient without making users less effective. (Which includes findability and reuse that others pointed out.)

[Kai Weber @techwriterkai]

Oh, look: #simcorp, the company I work for has a cool video explaining what we all do all day! https://t.co/fOVoMV1Vzr #fintech

CEO: we'll give them the cloud, but on their own desk!
Engineer: yeah but isn't that just a—
CEO: ship it.

[Kai Weber @techwriterkai]

Should it be "how to increase content velocity", not how to make it happen? Ruthless structuring & separation from layout would be a start. https://t.co/bKWmZvOVda

[Kai Weber @techwriterkai]

@finiteattention Yup... :-/ Here's a reaction that has resonated with me: https://t.co/FZj8Ls0LGn

@ellispratt @MattiasSander The blurb sounds like this will fit the bill: "for everybody who knows they have to sell, but is afraid of the process". Thanks, Ellis!
