Good thing they picked up a unique name that won't collide with any other similar named projects.

They obviously did some type checking on the name[1]. I'm sure they Squared up the UI elements while they were developing it[2]. The moments before launch must have been pretty tense though[3]. I just hope this service supports file uploads[4].

They probably used FTP while developing [5] and a lot of online chatting [6].

To get it done, they would have used project management [7] whilst management decided on EDI integration suites. [8]

Do you think they were a little bitter about Slack and probably used a competitor [9] instead?

Yeah, because (Apple) Pages or (Google) Docs or (Apple|Google|Yahoo) Mail or (Google) Cloud are unique names. You could argue all these add their brand in front of the name, like this case exactly.

I'm glad someone else thought this. Almost seems like an elaborate ruse to hide the other flows. Or for their service to never be found again.

Someone should send a Lync message to them about writing a Linq query to find all the links for projects with similar names.

I wish when companies picked these common names that they would also define a ~unique search team for people to use, ie: "when discussing on forums please use msflow" or something like that.
