I understand that Posterous's "Pages" is a feature, not a product. However, it unpleasantly reminds me of two products named Pages, Facebook Pages and Apple Pages.
There have been several times this year where I was searching for answers to questions about Pages, and it was a miserable experience. In part, it was due to the confusion between Facebook Profiles and Facebook Pages, but it was still miserable.
Now I am inherently biased against naming a feature or product Pages. It's tricky w/ features, because you want it simple yet distinct,. Unfortunately, the trend is heading towards the "The" and "A".
- petercooper 16y agoUsing a generic name for a product sucks in general in terms of finding information about it. People don't tend to say "Apple Pages" in every reference to the app. "Windows" is an exception because it was huge before the idea of Web search hit the mainstream ;-)
