- mrWiz 2y agoBecause the meaning of "Google" is clear while "Alphabet" is not.
- browningstreet 2y ago...and the link is to a .google domain They foster the confusion themselves.
- anp 2y agoSame reason Facebook is still Facebook to me, probably.
- infogrind 2y agoNames stick, it’s as simple as that. In most practical situations (such as this discussion), the distinction between Google and Alphabet doesn’t matter. I once tried to rebrand an in-house, purely dev facing product. I failed.
