(Really) Simplify Legal Jargon
The Next Web highlights the “simplified” terms of service of a Twitter rival Heello, Pinterest and 500px in a recent post: Now this is how to write a terms-of-service document.
Don’t get too exited yet. It is a nice idea to highlight the essence of a lengthy, complicated text right next to it. But wouldn’t we all wish to just have easier to understand terms and conditions at all?
What real simplification is, can be seen in a TED session by Alan Siegel: Let’s simplify legal jargon!. He doesn’t mention terms of service explicitly, but he’d sure have an opinion about them.
I’ll leave out the question whether we really need a new word like “Shareconomy” for what we do…
Besides that, friendsurance has put together an Infographic showing the companies that form the German landscape of collaborative consumption. It’s beautifully laid-out as a subway net and combines car sharing, other mobility, finance, goods, coworking and more.
