- overgard 11y agoSo I normally don't comment on downvotes because, you know, whatever, but I'm really looking forward to the posts about how this is a great idea. "Hey you know how we had this brand that became synonymous with looking up all information ever? Let's abandon that to be associated with, uh, letters." Seriously it's not like "google" was a damaged brand. I'm not going to "alphabet" shit.
