I do not think I would necessarily have more of a practical idea what to expect out of a "recommendation service" than "Gazette". Sure, it's related to recommendations in some way, but that might as well be next to useless technically. A 10 minute introduction on the various services and one could get their head around them even with silly names. Are you bothered your webserver is called nginx or by curl or grep or git or cat etc. etc.?

curl, grep and cat all have specific names that make sense. curl: cURL (library) grep: g/re/p "globally search for a regular expression and print matching lines" cat: as in, concatenate Gazette is just meaningless.

  Actually, a “gazette” is a periodical newspaper.[0] It’s a more obscure word, but it isn’t meaningless. And I can kindof see the usage as coming from “recommendation email spam is a periodical”, but it’s a stretch IMHO. [0]: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gazette https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gazette
