Last night I saw the news on Engadget that Google is restructuring and is forming a parent company called Alphabet.
I replied to Engadget’s post saying that I wasn’t looking forward to the @alphabet.com email address or log in process.
This was in jest – Google isn’t going to be renamed Alphabet, though if Gmail did become AlphabetMail I wouldn’t be happy using it to log in to Google’s services.
At the time I stated this in Twitter I hoped that nobody had the username @alphabet – Or Google had already purchased the handle. Someone was going to get a lot of mentions.
As it turns out, that someone is Chris Andrikanich. His Twitter account must be a very messy place at the moment – Though if he wants to cash in I’m sure that Google, sorry, Alphabet might want to purchase his handle for their own use.
Maybe it was reckless of me to use the @alphabet mention, but at least I’m not the only one.
