Pixoh Changes Name to Snipshot

I'd heard the chatter before on the wiki, but now it's confirmed: Pixoh is now Snipshot. Their site reads, "We’ve been asked to change our name due to a possible trademark conflict." Snipshot credits a Zach Baker with thinking of the name. He's a guy with a Startup School link on his blog, and one who, according to an apparent self-report on the Startup School wiki, "just left game developer Luxoflux to work on startup." Might this be another Y company?

So who has the trademark that potentially conflicts with Pixoh? Well, Baker's most recent blog post is about Pixar. That, of course, might just be coincidence, but the names do sound similar.

Zak Wilson suggests that the trademark conflict is with Piczo, a company he thinks is doomed.
