This is a stupid move. It's like Google changing its name to something else. Now everyone says "you need to Google this" instead of "you need to search this on the internet". Twitter has become a recognised brand and tweeting has become a verb in the dictionary. He's destroying years of work. At this point, we can safely say that his behaviour is not rational.

  1. They still kept their Brands for those products. Its still google and not alphabet search.
  2. The fact that most people call These companies Google and Facebook Shows how hard it is to rebrand
