+  To Action or not to Action? I was writing a new class today and wondered whether it should be an Action, Command or Service. Which would you pick?
+---
+
+Today I started to write a new class and was trying to decide what to name it and what pattern I wanted to follow.
+
+Option 1:
+
+```php
+class StoreInformationDownloader {
+
+  public function download() {
+    // ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Option 2:
+
+```php
+class DownloadStoreInformation {
+
+  public function execute() {
+    // ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Option 1 is a typical Service class.
+
+Option 2 follows the Command or Action pattern.
+
+Which would you choose?
