My question is, how long before the press stop using "Google's Alphabet" to refer to the new entity. And also how long before Google is referred to as "Alphabet's Google".
- sreyaNotfilc 11y agoI think it will be more like "Google's parent company, Alphabet". And I think when they mention Alphabet it will be along the lines of new ventures. The reason why is simply - 1) Changing Google to Alphabet is way too confusing. 2) Google is still here and operating as Google for the most part. Only real difference is that most of the R&D tasks not pertaining to its main business structure are placed outside that space. So, what I can recall, things like Google glasses and cars and whatnot will be a project that's under Alphabet. But seriously, Google will still be referred to as Google. Youtube, Maps, Music is still under the Google business. Alphabet are for existing/new project (from A to Z (get it!)) that the Google guys (Page, and Brin) wants to pursue. If they are profitable, they may become their own businesses or even put inside the Google brand. NBD!
