Want to come build a distributed social cloud web app with me using node?
The real problem is when the meaning of a word or phrase becomes so broad that it conveys no information, or gets swamped by overuse and becomes a buzzword.
- 46Bit 14y agoDo you mind if I adopt that as my standard way of making people leave me alone?
- unimpressive 14y agoNo. Not at all. I think it's too shallow for anyone to be fooled by it though.

I don't think any of the words I used there, besides maybe "web", are in any version of the jargon file.[0] [0]: Then again, I haven't seen an "updated" jargon file in a long time. I don't even know what the new jargon is.

Also it's not fair to mix the name of a product as if it's a tech 'term' so let's take that out too. > distributed web-app Yeah that sounds way better than any marketing-speak sentence.
