I only call it Twitter because I’m not gonna say “X” it just sounds stupid.
- al_borland 2y agoIt seems like everyone calling it x.com would allow people to use the name without having to know the history or be confused by just calling something X. Kind of how pets.com was always called pets.com, because just calling something "pets" would be confusing.
- maxerickson 2y agoIt's "X, the everything app", said with an exhausted sneer.
- fujinghg 2y agoZombo already took that title https://zombo.com/ https://zombo.com/
- ddingus 2y agoYes, and I think of the "X Window System" often when "X" is mentioned, doh!
- filoeleven 2y agoIt's a good thing their logos are so different.
- polotics 2y agoi say "the X website" and I find it very funny
- steve_adams_86 2y agoIt's like the ship of Theseus for me. If all of the parts are swapped out, is it the same ship? I don't know, that's interesting to think about. But if all of the parts are essentially the same but worse for wear, with a shittier captain, is it the same ship? Yes, it's still Twitter.
- zozbot234 2y agoYou could split the difference and call it Xitter.
- esskay 2y agoPronounced "Shitter"
- checkyoursudo 2y agoThis is what I do. I cannot call it Twitter anymore because that makes me sad (I miss you Twitter 2008-2016). I cannot call it X because that is dumb. So Xitter it is.
- grogenaut 2y agoI always called it OSTEN for the same reason
