HBO Go Go (golang) Go (game)

• k-mcgrady 11y ago
  HBO Go is the only real clash there (very few people are going to confuse an offering by a well known music site with a programming language or board game). I don't see HBO ever making Go available outside the US so it probably won't be a real issue for many people.

    I think the bigger problem with these generic names is that they are hard to search for and crowd the search space. Go is a common enough word that you'll need to search for `"SoundCloud Go"`, since `SoundCloud Go` will bring up a bunch of unrelated stuff about SoundCloud, e.g. "go to your SoundCloud account panel and..." But using quotes will miss sentences like, "SoundCloud has released a new service, Go."

      Google seems to understand it perfectly. https://www.google.com/search?q=SoundCloud+Go https://www.google.com/search?q=SoundCloud+Go

        Probably as a result of Google's use of ngrams for searching. It also seems likely that users instinctively (or rather, by years of experience from using Google) know to search for the proper noun rather than just "go" alone...basing that on my own anecdotal evidence of always searching for "hbo now" instead of just "now"

    Also searching for "Go" in google will probably not bring up good results.

    Disney uses go.com for all its sites, which include ABC and ESPN.
