The Internet is resourceful, there is no doubt about it. It can really help a person get off their feet and speed up the process. Over the last week I have been hearing about a new site that has just launched. It is called Unsuck It, and is here to help explain business jargon.
I am willing to bet the site was probably set up more so as a joke, but I think it is going to be very useful and gain some ground. The site is laid out in a Google styled search format, with the search box in the middle of the page. As the site is so new, it even has a prefilled in lingo to help you understand how it works. For this example, it was “adverteasing” and when unsucked refers to blurb or plug.
The catalog of jargon is still fairly small, but users are encouraged to add what they know to help grow the library. It seems to be working, because there seems to be many more since the first time I tried out the site. Another option that I think was added after my first visit was the ability to browse through the entire library, which is also nice, especially for a good chuckle.
Yes, some are a little funny and you wonder how that saying or word came to be, but in actual reality this may become a great resource. As a young entrepreneur, everyday I struggle with understanding things in the business world. Partly because half the time people don’t use simple English. Now with this site I can at least make sure I’m not being called an idiot.
You will most likely see this site go around the web a lot over the next week, so I’m curious to know, would you use this site to look up what you didn’t understand? Did you add any of your own?
