Space

Brad Feld has a great counter post to my VC Cliche of the week where he takes on two more overused VC jargon words, space and thrilled.

I don't know about thrilled.  I kind of like that word.

But space is more overused than traction and I agree that it must go from our vernacular. And the sooner the better. 

I have been working hard for the past year to eliminate space from my vocabularly.

I am thrilled to say that I will match Brad on his promise never to use it again.

Good for you. But. When space (as in outer not the catch-all noun) gains traction how will you describe a companies that are engaged in a synergestic effort to capture market share in that emerging arena?
