X. It's not twitter anymore

  Free speech right? We can call it whatever we want.

    But you shouldn't, because it helps Elon argue that his old trademark is not abandoned.

      Very good point. I just learned about twitter.now.

    Of course. And I hate x naming also. Not as much as Gulf America.

  This burndown of the Brand Twitter by renaming it to X will make it to digital marketing textbooks for Universities across the world, I promise: The word Twitter itself became a mega/global brand throughout the years, and Musk detroyed it completely. The verb "to tweet" made it also into dictionaries around the world. You could speak the name in more or less every language, and the bird was widely known just by its iconic styling. (also dont forget the fail whale! :-)

    Sure. Totally agree, but it's confusing. For example, Wordpress still has Twitter-block. And when I try to explain new authors that they should use Twitter-block for X.com integration, they think that I'm stupid. But not me, right?

  "Gulf of America"? Nope.

  As a compromise, I call it xitter. The main benefit is apparently in some languages x has a "sh" sound so really i'm just calling it exactly what it is (and always has been.)
