The Buzz Saw's mission is primarily educational. The principals of buzzkiller.net (an entity not affiliated with Forbes, eCN, Fortune or Soldier of Fortune) have created a rob*st, inter*ctive, turnk*y buzzword-reduction soluti*n that is both Net-centr*c and Web-en*bled.

The Buzz Saw started in 1997 as a handcrafted email filter that read incoming email and rejected messages containing certain buzzwords and phrases. Then came the Web component in 1998, where I posted some of the truly execrable work that was occasionally foisted upon me. In the summer of 1999, El Robusto came aboard and we re-designed the site. We were joined by eEZD in the fall. Just in time to help out with the e-Kwanzaa publicity blitz, Fight Club, an arch yet humorous Latin survivor and dilettante grammarian, has thrown in as well.

Look for Buzz Saw 2.0 in the spring of 2000!

Regarding reports that Buzz Saw principals have blackballed certain PR agencies:

Our coders have not yet completed the Buzz Saw's Java-based blackball feature, although we expect a beta in mid-Q4. Any pre-emptive blackballing is not the work of buzzkiller.net and may violate several patents buzzkiller.net has pending.
