Actually, if they keep both apps for a while, Duo is the better name.
- hbn 4y agoDuo makes way more sense for a casual video call app you'd use with your grandma or girlfriend. I'm not gonna Meet™ with my grandma, she's not my coworker. Hell, you can't even tell it's a proper noun when spoken out loud. "Skype me" - clear "FaceTime me" - clear "Duo me" - clear "Meet me" - meet you where?
- gowld 4y agoI Zoom with my Grandma. What's wrong with that?
- tintor 4y agoIt is easy: "Google Meet me" - clear
- Godel_unicode 4y agoI googled it, now what.
- JadeNB 4y ago> "Duo me" - clear There are perhaps homonymous reasons why this might appeal to the sophomoric sort.
- wink 4y agoEh, don't disregard the amount of people who don't use English as their main language here, I'm not even sure I could construct such a weird scenario in German, for example - but could be my imagination, maybe a good chunk of people would still say "call me... via X"
