FirstGov gets a new name

January 12, 2007

FirstGov, which you know and love, now has a new name: USA.govAn FAQ about the name switch is available, but they say the basic gist of it is this: "We did it because you asked us to. Feedback from the public told us that we need a name that is easier to understand and remember."  Go figure :)   Don’t forget to now go and change all the links and bookmarks you had for FirstGov to USA.gov.

    Personally I’d've gone with ‘america.gov’ or maybe ‘starthere.gov’.
