Blog Entry

Dirty words list now available! (Free.)

SUMMARY: No summary available.
In response to my blog of Aug 7th, Meg Barker VP Marketing at WidgetFinder.com (they're still in pre-launch mode, so don't go deluging her Web site or anything) sent over her company's official list of dirty words.

I didn't read the whole thing (ok I didn't read past the first 5 words, it just got a little ... yucky) but at 102 words total, it's a pretty good start at a comprehensive list. Marketers who run any type of community (boards, email discussion groups, on-site product reviews) can use this to filter out inappropriate postings/emails. Plus, Heather Fairchild of Seattle Lab pointed out to me this afternoon that the list would also be helpful for HR folks intent on stopping potentially offensive internal employee emails. Big area for lawsuits these days.

If you'd like a copy of this list, I didn't post it to Sherpa because I thought, well, why put stuff like this out there in the open? Struck me as potentially not fun. So if you'd like a free copy of this list, just email me and I'll pop one off to you pronto.
