Mindblowing move by Google to rename itself Topeka (yes, that town in Kansas that changed its name to Google). Go to http://www.google.com to see for yourself!
Google lost the right to use the name “Google” to a small shop in middle east (of all the places!) that had been using it all along. Check this out http://farm1.static.flickr.com/8/11026499_17a91590c0.jpg
Those intending to buy GOOG shares should now buy TOP instead.
Good point about TOP. With tax deadline fast approaching, anyone who had Google (sorry, now Topeka) stock transactions to report for 2009 Schedule-D may have to report as TOP instead of GOOG.
I never liked the name Google anyway.
Nice April Fool’s day joke by Google….
I noticed the change too it was a good prank.
