29Very well said. The fact that Stack Overflow is the most well known in general doesn't mean the company should try to bolt the rest of their initiatives onto it – rather, they should stick with the existing overarching branding of Stack Exchange (for the public platform as a whole), and allow each initiative to be clearly differentiated while being connected to the whole.– V2BlastCommented Jul 11 at 0:20

3"I frequently see people referring to each site as "a stack" (e.g. "the photography stack")" Really? I don't think I've ever seen people other than SE staff say that. Although are also stuck with the unfortunate name of "Stackers".– curiousdanniiCommented Jul 11 at 3:54

@curiousdannii Yes, but that "stack" is exchange.– peterhCommented Jul 11 at 14:56

8This is very well put; I don't have the company's market research data on their existing branding, but I've been mystified by the claims that the current "Exchange" umbrella term is "confusing"... having a standalone umbrella name that's distinct from the site names seems straightforward and obvious to me compared to the newly presented naming scheme. If anything, I feel that the "confusion" towards the SE naming mostly comes from lack of usage/ recognition of "Exchange", rather than it being inherently unclear. The restructuring just feels more concerned with recognition than clarity.– zcoop98Commented Jul 11 at 17:15

This especially shows that the current ownership of SE does not understand their product what-so-ever. Conceptually SO is part of SE in the same way all the other stacks are. It is the OG of the Exchange and is about programming Q&A. Stop there. And it the staff does not know we call these things Stacks (I mean... ?) it makes it clear you are not listening to your users. An Exchange is where a bunch of things are... StackExchange should be the umbrella not SO. Its dumbfounding!– rebusBCommented Jul 26 at 12:19

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
