SES Speakers to Be Outfitted with Buzzword Shock Wristband
Was last week's SES New York just too filled with buzzwords? Was Guy Kawasaki's keynote too predictable? Did you feel that reading Lisa Barone's live blog coverage was the same as actually being there?
Those days are over.
From now on, if an SES speaker ever utters a buzzword, they will be shocked by this hi-tech wristband from ThinkGeek.
Buzzwords that trigger the wristband include:
- integration
- transparency
- visibility
- user intent
- funnel
- engagement
- conversation
- buzzword
- tactics
- collaboration
- syncing
- maturation
- competency
- paradigm
- discovery
- relationship
- leveraging
- globalization
- optimization
What do YOU think of the buzzword shock wristband? Leave your comments below.

Being fairly new to this industry I have learned a lot by studying your website, which I find very informative. The whole idea is so smart, the applications many and the purpose simple to establish; either save or make money. The latter can also be translated into raise money e.g. for charities. Again I am amazed by some of the applications wristbands can be used for; it seems that only the imagination is the limit. Take just a school or university and realize how many possibilities exist. Each possibility means a business opportunity, it is truly amazing. However there is one question I am thinking a lot about. Since the competition today is so tough due to the present turmoil on the financial markets how does one try to sell high quality products at a very low price? Everybody want to convince the potential customer that his company offers the best product at the lowest price on the market, not very convincing so I think some more realistic words have to be chosen. Since the ideas of wristbands are not that old I find it amusing that some companies take about 50+ years experience within this business area is that not to mislead the customers or am I wrong?
