Angus: Confused?
Here is a little clarification.
The IBM i branding is so easy!
- When you speak, say i.
- When you write, use IBM i.
What the branding is not:
- IBM i™
- “i”
- IBM “i”
- IBM/i
- iOS
- i/OS
- IBM i
AS/400 - Power i
- Power IBMi
- IBMi (ex AS400)
What the branding never was:
- i5
- sys/i
- whatever they call it today..
What the branding was, once upon a time:
- Last century:
- AS/400
- OS/400
- Early this century:
- iSeries
- eServer iSeries
- System i5
- System i
- i5/OS
What the brand name is:
- i
What Google will never find:
- i
What Google will find:
- IBM i
What Google needs for the most common searches:
- IBM i (Power Systems software supporting AS/400, iSeries, and System i applications)
(Borrowed from the current title of the IBM i home page).
What the Twitter hashtag is:
- #IBMi
In summary:
| Speak | Write | Market |
| i | IBM i |
IBM i (Power Systems software supporting AS/400, iSeries, and System i applications) |
It is so easy, it bears repeating..
- Speak i.
- Write IBM i.
Start your day with a new attitude towards the platform you love!
i,i,i,i!
Well Google seems to do a slightly better job with “IBM i” – and hopefully under the covers equates it with AS400 and everything else because otherwise you won’t get anything except the most recent stuff.
Jon,
The catch 22 is that until we start using IBM i more, google is simply not going to return the results we would like.
On the other hand, if I am looking to do something modern, why would I want all the old AS/400 stuff from last century? I would prefer to find articles on how to get the most from RDPower than articles on tips and tricks with SEU…
