Institutions, Organizations, Corporations

I was wondering what everyone though about what to do with something that does not fit with the categories or People, Music, Places, Food, etc.

I notice Google was added as a person, and GE as a place..

This occurred to me as I was trying to add Alabama football and I just did it as a person, but then with Gender and such in the edit fields, it didn't seem right, so I thought I would ask before adding others...

I wonder if Tom would consider making a new category for things like this - actual learning institutions or cultural institutions, not to mention businesses, charities, or other organizations.

Thanks

Like you said, I noticed too that some brands and companies have been added under existing categories, for instance McDonald's, Pepsi and Coca-Cola as "Food", YouTube and Twitter as "Web", Apple Inc. as "Product", and so on. Starbucks has been added both as "Food" and "Places". Facebook both as "Person" and "Web".

I don't know, but maybe a new category for businesses etc. would only add more confusion and duplicates?

I want to add a category for companies/organisations in the future and groups which you be able to add people to (e.g. Music groups/sports teams etc...)
