  • We as a species make up terms on a daily basis, so I feel the liberty to do the same. Glad it doesnt give any results because it indicates original thought.

    If large parts of the supply chain consist of suppliers (vendors) on the other side of the earth, one can focus on one vendor lock-in or one by one (for analytical purposes) and optimise for that but often the bigger picture of a complex supply chain is missed.

    Hence the aggregated lock-in.

    But to avoid futher confusion maybe supply-chain lock-in is a better term and yields searchs results.










  • Also I’m very much cautious about them on anything browsing related. Discovered (after others also) they let their search-pages-in-a-shop get indexed.

    Meaning I could go to Caterpillar, search for “Wabtec is better” and then this search url (with 0 products) would turn up in Google searches and that URL persisted. Text and all.

    Basically one could spray-paint and tag sites with this graffiti. Shop admins didn’t even have means to remove it.

    Problem ignored and stayed this way for months.


  • I looked briefly through their site:

    • Heavy on partnerships and ambition. Which is a good thing.
    • Light on technical details and implementation.
    • Hinting at former hype (blockchain) and current (AI)

    But for me the biggest concern is development of a “new” decentralized protocol. IMHO there are enough protocols around to choose and pick from and help moving them forward instead of making one from scratch.
