Was it because "List" sounded a little too much like Craig's List and the owner didn't want to be associated with sleazeball Craig Newmark anymore?
Why did Angie's List suddenly change its name?

"Sleazeball?" Please.
Probably more to do with wanting their name to match their NASDAQ symbol.

Strategic rebranding to emphasize its new approachability, and what R1 said.

It reminded people of Schindler's List.

It turned into a hook-up site.

Angie's List went to shit when it became Home Advisor. Now it's a spam generator.

Makes for a shorter website name.

Because Angie's List bought Handy and Home Advisor.
Angie rhymes with Handy and they provide a list of "screened" contractors but it's not necessarily about reviews anymore.

That and you cannot trademark Angie's list. They needed a corporate identity that was trademarked.

I will always have respect for Ango (headquartered in Indianapolis) for the way they responded to then-Governor Mike Pence's anti-LGBT Religious Freedom Law.
