This naming is ridiculous. Did they hire a bunch of Microsoft people ?
- huangbong 9y agoGoogle naming products at this point is just memes. But it proves that if you have an amazing enough product (G suite) the name doesn’t matter at all. Whoever came up with G suite is just a bad person though ugh.
- webkike 9y agoI'm all against rigid company culture, but google naming needs to be improved. Variables are consistently named better at google than the products they are written for.
- dmoy 9y agoHey it's one of the two hard things, right? Alongside cache invalidation and off by one errors.
- notatoad 9y agoThe naming doesn't even need to be improved, they just need to stop with the renaming. GSuite is an awful name, but i know what it means at this point as long as they don't sometimes call it "Google Cloud" instead.
- scrollaway 9y agoG Suite has been called in the past "Google for Work", "Google Enterprise", "Google Business", "Google Apps", "Google Apps for Business", "Google Apps for Work", and I probably forget some more. It's really insane.
- gowld 9y agoYes.
- kylecordes 9y agoThey probably had a meeting about it, using either Hangouts, Hangouts Meet, Hangouts Chat, Duo, or Allo...
- rvo 9y agoLooks like they have an influx of the MBA and ex Microsoft types. Sad! What's the new Google these days?
- r00fus 9y agoAnswer: yes. Many former MS folks now in Google. What do you think inspired the Ballmer chair throwing incident ?
