Buzzword bashing

Bryan of the Avalonstar blog has launched a new project involving some serious buzzword bashing. Buzzword hell draws on the old hell level theme by offering prospective damned terms which you can vote on and affect their placing in hell.

Jargon whacking

I will admit it doesn’t take overly that much before I get my whacking stick out. With regards to jargon I seem to have a one hand regularly reaching for my stick. I am pleased by the apparent move online to ditch the marketing infection and techie mind melting. One particular find in the past few months of Aspira Media’s "No jargon" website, cheered me during a particularly hard time with PR geek speak. It appears a regular line to be thrown at any designer or developer that they are talking techie. Perhaps worse than this accusation is when on top of this we become infected by the jargon virus and dribble out meaningless content to the website.
