This was the first question I asked myself when going to setup this website.
While working in various functions within the business and beeing a non-native speaker of english and also a non-native business person (technical guy) there have been a lot of things to learn. Basically it was pretty hard what some terms meant and even hard to know what they really mean. Therefore I figured out quite some stuff myself and thought it might be an interesting and funny idea to build this site around business language.
Why not using one of the existing sites?
Knowing that there are hundreds of sites explaining, mentioning and discussing a lot of this business lingo I still found it way more interesting and challenging to create a new site of its own. First and foremost because it makes fun to create and run a website because you can build it exactly the way you want. Another thing is that I wanted to have a more community capable and "modern" kind of layout (at least in my point of view). That's how the idea came to life.
Why this name - businessargot?
Listening to business language can be quite confusing and especially at the beginning it sounds like a different language at all. Therefore I thought it might be a good idea to relate business language to a kind of secret and hidden type of language.
But at the end it was the simple fact, that this domain was available and it sounded good ;)
Wish you a lot of fun over here.
