I was a bit confused by this, since I usually associate &quot;calibre&quot; with the e-book creation&#x2F;conversion software with that name.<p><a href="http://calibre-ebook.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;calibre-ebook.com&#x2F;</a>

Oh, I thought that the e-book software was launching a mobile&#x2F;tablet version or something. That would have excited me far more than yet another &quot;me-too&quot; analytics vendor, playing in a niche somewhere between Google Analytics and New Relic.<p>Why on earth didn&#x27;t they Google their own proposed name before releasing this? It&#x27;s one thing to use the same name as another entity in a different field, but to rip-off a name that is already a well known software package too? They&#x27;ll be lucky to make the first page of Google search results for their own name.

Was confused due to the name being shared with a very popular e-book (and e-reader) management app: <a href="http://calibre-ebook.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;calibre-ebook.com&#x2F;</a> . This looks like an interesting browser performance analytics service

how hard is it to google your app&#x27;s name before releasing it? or do you know and just not care that you&#x27;re taking somebody else&#x27;s name?
