Besides, language shapes debate. Why call it what others call their more inferior products? Seems like a good opportunity for a new name/product category. Feed frame? Stream frame? App frame?

Go to your nearby Walmart or Best Buy and ask a customer there if feed frame, stream frame, or app frame means anything to them. You need something more basic that the average person would quickly grok. [EDIT: But it's not like I have any better ideas.]

  A few years ago, would they have responded to "smart frame"? Why be limited in a name (if they can use it) by the poor technologies of others? Life frame? Live frame? Living frame?

    I like Life Frame. What about Web Frame? Nah, Life Frame beats that one.

Feed frame? Stream frame? App frame? How about...Picwing? If we're making up words, let's make up one that is defensible, and can be an "iPod" or a "Kleenex" or at least a "Palm Pilot" (ten years ago) or a "Blackberry", etc.
