G is for Google

[Chenzo]

So if you haven't heard already - Larry Page released a statement regarding the newly founded company: Alphabet.

Crazy to think that the name hadn't even been used before for one but most importantly throughout his write up - there doesn't seem to be much clarity on what it is going to accomplish.

What are your ideas/thoughts moz heads?

Sounds to me it's more like a PR thing + a organisational restructure to get business wise not in trouble with laws etc.

As people say,

"Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have never been known for thinking small."

So, let's see and enjoy... Expecting to see some interesting developments in upcoming months.

 Interesting, it sounds like more of a way to control brin... and give some accountability to their rogues ideas... like google glass.. which was alot of hype and an unmitigated pr disaster.   

Larry..
"We liked the name Alphabet because it means a collection of letters that represent language, one of humanity's most important innovations, and is the core of how we index with Google search!" Page said. "We also like that it means alpha- bet (Alpha is investment return above benchmark), which we strive for!"
