A buzzword to denote a product or service that, although showing much promise for paradigm shift-creating greatness, languishes in the ether as a result of failing to prove its worth beyond gimmicky uses & implementations.
However, despite years of serious development and now wider adoption by content providers and consumers alike, it has yet to emerge from the gimmicksphere.
