This has to be the most bizarre branding move I’ver ever seen! In response to Topeka changing their name to Google, Google has now changed it’s name to Topeka! What does this mean to the everday user?
Well, it means that people are going to have to start to change their vocabulary. If someone tells me they “google’d” something I’ll assume they went to Kansas and bought that something an ice cream.
While the official replacement term for Googlers is now going to be Topekans I would prefer it if you called me a Topekanite, which sort of sounds like it might be a pokemon.
