I'm not sure I like this trend of taking the first slightly hypey app in an existing space and then defining the nomenclature of the space relative to that app, in this case even suggesting it's another layer of the stack. It implies an ubiquity that just isn't there (yet) so it feels unearned and premature in my mind. It seems better for social media narratives more than anything. I'll admit I don't hate the term claws I just think it's early. Like Bandaid had much more perfusion and mindshare before it became a general term for anything as an example. I also think this then has an unintended chilling effect in innovation because people get warned off if they think a space is closed to taking different shapes. At the end of the day I don't think we've begun to see what shapes all of this stuff will take. I do kind of get a point of having a way to talk about it as it's shaping though. Idk things do be hard and rapidly changing. | ||
