I also agree, Hive is a really great name. In terms of Bob's accusation of 'total stupidity:' I don't think that you understand the reason for changing the name. I'm not afraid of any recourse Google may have to throw but am merely concerned with creating a distinctive identity for the project. So the question is, as posed by Stephen, whether Google Buzz is well enough established that people will confuse the projects. I agree that it is rather up in the air at the moment, so perhaps Buzz is a name we can stick with. Thanks, -- Luke Slater :O)
