I'll easily belive that a big company has a whole department for branding.
But I think this is a little out of the context of what I initially said.
I'm a single developer, working on my hobby project because I enjoy it and
like to use it. Would I like it if more pople used it? Yeah sure. Am I going
to go overboard rebranding my software to seem like the commercial /
proprietary alternatives, and try and attract attention to my project in
this way? I won't.
On the other hand, would I use the #linuxaudio tag to publicize a release /
update? Yes. I have no problem with *publicizing* information, and perhaps
even purposefully targeting it at a certain audience (whether they be
beginners or veterans), as this doesn't affect the information itself. But
changing the information that is being spread around *for the purpose of
promotion* is not something I think is a good idea.
May be rebranding is the wrong idea though.

I think so :)
