Web Glossary – RSS Feed Added

I’ve just added an RSS feed to Web Glossary so now you can keep up to date with with new terms as they are added to the site.

The feed will display the 10 50 latest updates to the site. At the moment that covers new definitions that are added or any rewrites and updates.

Web Glossary is very much a work in progress with new definitions being added on a nearly daily basis between now and the end of the year. Its design is continually being evolved as well and tried out in public.

I’m trying a number of advertising providers including AdSense and WidgetBucks and I have plans to publish in depth articles there as well.

Improvements to the search facility and a “Suggest A Term” feature are also next in line to be added.

So if you’re stumped by terms like 1U or typo-squatting try out Web Glossary.

If you’d like to subscribe to the feed or syndicate it on your own site, you can grab the feed from http://feeds.feedburner.com/webglossary

Web Glossary Will Launch 9th November

A personal project that I’ve been working on recently will launch next week on the 9th of November.

Many people dread dealing with IT professionals. If you’ve ever worked with a web design or software development company that can’t explain things to you clearly and concisely, without resorting to technical language then it can be a nightmare. In some ways they are doing you a disservice and have failed you as a client.

I’ve always tried to avoid the approach of trying to impress clients with technology. It’s a greater challenge and more satisfying to explain how you will fulfil a clients requirements without hiding behind technical knowledge. I prefer to save the technobabble for my peer group. That’s not to say I always succeed, but may aim is always to try make explanations clear, concise and simple.

To hone my skills I’m launching a site called Web Glossary which is at www.webglossary.co.uk.

You’ll be able to get answers to baffling terminology there from on the 9th of November 2007.

I hope you’ll find it useful but never have to refer to it after a meeting with me.
