I first assembled What The @%!* Does THAT Mean? in 2009, as a free download. Since it was first published, this glossary of online business terms has been downloaded by thousands of people, all around the world.
Initially it was created to help my fellow members of the Superfast Business (originally Fast Web Formula) internet marketing forum, of which I am an inaugural member. It was designed to help them to break through the barriers caused by the often strange terminology and abbreviations used in online business, and internet marketing. Such terms, which have become part of the vernacular of those already in the industry, can be tremendous hurdles to those who are new, or who don’t have the benefit of membership to an active online community.
I’ve now added this information here to my website which is much easier to add to and update.
Disclosure: I don’t claim to be the creator of the definitions provided here, nor do I expect them to mean exactly the same when used in creative contexts.
The terms are split over six pages as follows:
Glossary of IM terms: A-C
Glossary of IM terms: D-G
Glossary of IM terms: H-L
Glossary of IM terms: M-P
Glossary of IM terms: Q-T
Glossary of IM terms: U-Z
If you have suggestions for terms to add, I welcome your comments on this site or on my Facebook page.
