What is with these horrible company names now? "Alphabet". "Chronicle". "Oath". Fuck. None of these names mean anything within the context of their business. Epitomizing mediocrity, this new generation of names waft aimlessly by and inspire exactly nothing.
- dragonwriter 8y agoAlphabet, at least, is a holding company that has no central competence (it has a subsidiary that dwarfs all the others, which also has what would be a terrible name except for the fact that it has attached meaning to that name by absolutely dominating key markets starting with search, so it's name conveys meaning but only because of the firm’s own history.)
