Incidental: I’ve seen people increasingly using x.com links in their articles. How does that happen? As far as I can tell, it just redirects to twitter.com and that’s where everything is, but it doesn’t seem likely that everyone’s changing twitter to x, so is there something that is giving these links?
I have far less confidence that x.com links will continue to work for years than twitter.com links.
- rsynnott 3y agoI assume if you're using the Twitter app and click "share link" it gives you an X-y one.
- delecti 3y agoYou assume correctly. Though x.com redirects to twitter.com, for what it's worth.
- bluedino 3y agoThey'll never become 'X', except internally. They'll always be known as "the site formerly known as Twitter". Just like Prince.
- InCityDreams 3y agoPrince wasn't formally known as ""the site formerly known as Twitter"."
- runamuck 3y agoIt will take. We once called KFC "Kentucky Fried Chicken."
- cantSpellSober 3y agoNobody called it that :) > This wasn’t so much of a problem when Kentucky Fried Chicken became KFC—lots of us already called it that https://slate.com/business/2004/05/what-does-kfc-stand-for-now.html https://slate.com/business/2004/05/what-does-kfc-stand-for-n... Twitter has always been Twitter
