Repositories for IT White Papers?

Posted by Cliff on from the by-IT-workers-for-IT-workers dept.

itsAsony asks: "What are the free and paid repositories / portals where I can present my technical white papers (IT papers) that appeals and reaches a wide network of IT personnels such as engineers, technical management, IT sales, in the area of eBusiness & eBilling. I know of one such portal: ZDNet. Basically I am looking for an online portal and print & media source thru which I can present my case to the peer group, not a B-2-C, but peer-2-peer. Thanks for your help."

      That site is run by ZDNet, the same one he mentions in his post. I'm guessing no one else knows of any others..

  2. Is it research? by prostoalex · · Score: 3, Informative

    If it has anything to do with the research or numbers outside of your own company (like you surveyed someone in the industry or you consolidated the questionnaires from your clients), I will take it (link to it with article piece).

    I run IT Facts site, which collects facts on IT, mostly research, surveys, numbers and graphs.

    Send an e-mail to webmaster at that domain name. The site is also syndicated to some other outfits, so you'll get exposure on other resources, too.

    Well, since you want to posture yourself this way, you should expect replies like this one. Hopefully, instead of saying "FLAMEBAIT!! OFFTOPIC!! MUST MOD DOWN!" right away, you will ponder the application of this message to your writing.

    Occaisionally, they will work
    I do not believe "occaisionally" is in the dictionary. Your acid-dipped cursor is rendered impotent by this spelling error. Granted, it could simply be the result of typing too fast.

    Or what?
    Can you diagram that sentence?

    Or have you written
    Do not start sentences with the word "or".

    (some of these have good tech information, others are basically long bad brochures)
    This should have been a sentence. It makes the sentence it was gratuitously inserted into much harder to read.

    Usually it's in exchange
    There is no verb here. You are probably using "it's" as a contraction for "it is" in this case, and your meaning is confused by the poor structure of the previous sentence. There is no antecedent for "it" here.

    information on who your audience is
    This can be shortened to "information regarding your audience" for clarity.

    typically distributed (or sold) by the companies
    have the (shorter) article point there
    You do not need parentheses here.

    In numerous places your usage of parentheses could have been replaced by commas, semicolons, or new sentences. Some commas and double hyphens could have been altered as well. Redundant punctuation only obfuscates your writing.

    Avoid contractions.

    In summary: You have addressed the author's question, and answered it adequately. The last paragraph is the most meaningful, useful and direct answer given in your entire message. However, your assumed superiority was not justified by the quality of your writing. Is this the quality of your typical paid writing? Setting your writing standards higher will earn you more money and repeat customers.
