Our company is operating well today, but we think we can make it cleaner and more accountable. So we are creating a new company, called Alphabet (Alphabet). I am really excited to be running Alphabet as CEO with help from my capable partner, Sergey, as President.

Official Google Blog: G is for Google

Google Inc, the $US445 billion search advertising giant, shocked the corporate world on Tuesday morning when it announced a sweeping overhaul of its business and a (rather nauseating) rebrand of its corporate entity.
On the stock exchange, what was once Google will henceforth be known as Alphabet. Google, the thing you use to search for stuff, will be still be known as Google, but is now just one of Alphabet's many businesses.
At the very least, Google (Alphabet) can no longer be criticised for being boring.

Google is now Alphabet: making sense of a crazy corporate announcement

Kind of makes sense actually, "Google" is just one of the products that Google Inc owns, they are huge and have many entities like YouTube and probably want to be known for more than just their search engine.

Now Google is just the G of a long list of companies. Great move imo.

Maybe some of you guys haven't watched Silicon Valley.

They're naming the new company after a joke.

not digging it, sounds like some bad April fools joke... they are actually for real?

Well.. as long as it isn't Umbrella Corporation..

Great move, both on a branding and organizational level.

Yep, that's why I posted the thread, but nobody got it. Maybe not many people have watched Silicon Valley.

It's just an easter egg, they are not "naming the new company after a joke".

Holding companies are hardly anything new. I imagine a lot of us on this board were way ahead of Google with having a holding company. It's just easier. Especially when you have LLCs for each asset, like a property or IP holding.

Barry-xlovecam · 08-11-2015, 06:24 AM

So, GOOG will become ABC on the ticker symbol? I smell a stock split coming perhaps.

RummyBoy · 08-11-2015, 06:25 AM

Looks like Sundar Pichai is the next CEO of Google.

Indian dude from Chennai.

I bet this is just so Brin and Page can take life easy.....
