Alphabet Inc.
Alphabet Inc. je kompanija koju je osnovao Google koja će služiti kao holding kompanija i konglomerat sa direktnim posjedovanjem nekoliko kompanija koje su bile u vlasništvu Google-a, uključujući i sam Google. The company will be based in Kaliforniji and be headed by Google's co-founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, with Page serving as CEO while Brin serves as President.[1] Alphabet-ov portfelj će se proširit na veliki spektar industrija, uključujući tehnologiju, životne nauke, investicijski kapital, and research. Some of its subsidiaries will include Google Inc, Calico, Google Ventures, Google Capital, Google X i Nest Labs. Sundar Pichai was named as the future CEO of Google, a position he will assume once the restructuring process is completed, whereupon Larry Page will become CEO of parent company Alphabet.
.xyz domena
Though Google is now owned by Alphabet, it doesn’t own the domain “Alphabet.com” which is still owned by another company that has also the same name “Alphabet”. Instead, it has .xyz domain.[2] The .xyz domain was released in 2014, and HBO created the site hooli.xyz for the parody tech company in the comedy series Silicon Valley. Alphabet's website, abc.xyz, uses the same top-level domain. The announcement of August 10, 2015, on Google's blog included a hyperlink to the hooli site hidden behind a single period.[3]
