It looks like someone didn't read Paul Grahams essay: Change Your Name[1].
As far as the service, I feel inextricably linked to PayPal right now. I used PayPal through the early Ebay years and while I don't have any money in my account; It still pays for my Uber and I have a few friends who haven't updated to Venmo yet. There are also a few items which I've purchased online where I use PayPal as a proxy so the company doesn't get my CC info. I'll probably end up setting up an account just to hold my name, but I doubt I'll use it much.

- gtCameron 11y agoThe first line of the linked article is "If you have a US startup called X and you don't have x.com, you should probably change your name." Pretty sure Paypal owns paypal.com. Also pretty sure Paypal is not a startup. Not sure how this article is relevant.
- mangeletti 11y agoAnd the extra ironic part is that PayPal literally even owns x.com...
- joeblau 11y agoYep, your'e right; I was attempting to make a joke. I guess I should have known better based on the forum.
