Google Goes NASDAQ: Let's Have a Contest!
Google announced today that its stock shares will be traded on the techcentric NASDAQ, instead of the slightly-more-prestigious NYSE. However, the company has not yet announced its planned stock symbol.
And therein lies the inspiration for a new Gazette contest: what's your guess as to Google's stock symbol?
"SE" (for "Search Engine") is already taken by 7-Eleven, Inc.
My vote is for "SEEK," which is apparently available as of this writing. But "GOOG" would probably make more sense from a corporate identity perspective (it's not just about searching anymore, you know), and it's available, as is the more ambiguous "GOO."
Leave your guesses in the comments and if you're right, you'll have the undying adoration of some MBAs, somewhere.
GOOG was my first thought...
