So was Kafka, but in the opposite direction. Results about Apache Kafka have seriously polluted the search results making it a lot harder to filter out pages not related to the novelist. Something is very wrong when the top result for "Kafka" is some software. Do you want to live in world where you kids google "Socrates" "Beethoven" and some software project shows up on top?

Not necessarily. If the software is more discussed on the net than the man it's named for, then perhaps that would be best?

You can bet your ass that if we had internet the way we do today in the early 90's that if you searched for Beethoven the first result would have been the dog movie.

Interestingly, I had an edutainment console called Socrates when I was young and it's very hard to find information on.
