It might feel strange at first, but we think the expansion of what brand Stack Overflow encompasses is actually more reflecting how we have operated for quite a long time already. It's the front door to the depth of the network for the casual user and the name Stack Overflow is as close as we’ve gotten to being a ‘household name’ (our brand equity).
