Speaking as the owner of ChromeServer.com I just wish they'd stop naming their stuff after my stuff!

That aside I guess they're building a brand and want to populate it with some related products. I'm dubious about the value of that approach though; Sun's plastering of the "Java" brand onto on OS didn't do them much good. IBM's WebSphere overloading has caused me problems in the past. Microsoft turned ".NET" from a useful label into a meaningless one.

I would be happy if Google, started using a term I thought I had some authority in. I would guess your web traffic will be up a bit for a couple days - perhaps you should have redesigned your site... (no offense)
