How do you keep people out of your world?

How do you keep people out of your world? In Christian circles, there is a lot of language that can be used that, without knowing the context, could really alienate outsiders, as demonstrated in this video:
(found via The Church Sofa)

IT people have their own set of special words, and I'm sure those who skateboard, knit or bungee jump do too. What words or actions have you noticed in your group, and what have you done to try to be more open to outsiders (and do you want to be more open to outsiders?!)

Is it wrong to have these shorthand expressions? Should we really use full explanations every time we want to communicate something with someone who would already know the background?
What are your thoughts on the matter? Please let me know in the comments section below.

Does this Electronic Group Address Book exist?

I have a friend looking for a solution to a problem. The problem is: there is a group of 200 or so people, all of which should be able to see each other's contact details (on the web / on mobile devices). The people should be able to edit thier own information (or an admin could do it). The information should only be accessible by the group of people.

The service should only provide the contact details, not provide other tools such as letting one user email another (that would be done by the user once they've got the recipient's address from the system). No need for photo sharing or the like.

Oh, and my friend is price-sensitive too, so a free option would be best.

Do you have any ideas about such a service? Is there one?
