A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

It's just the trump style of marketing. Do stupid shit constantly and the media will never shut up about you and people will never stop talking about whatever bullshit it is you're selling.
I'll believe it once the Twitter name and the birdie are both removed off the face of the site and gone for good. And even then I'm not entirely sure I'm going to care all that much.
What a fucking stupid move. And that's saying something at this point.
I went and deactivated my twitter accounts today. I got Lemmy and when I do my own servers via my own app, I'll enjoy a twitter alternative again. Edit: Im saying this because my mind went to action not bitching. I think the X rebrand is like a sign of the times and the official "okay twitters dead" moment.
Wasn’t X the first name of paypal or something like that? He already owned x.com for a long time, i guess wanted to make use of that
RIP his SEO. I know it's part of his goal for an "everything" app. But, this name is just terrible and is going to be a nightmare to look up. Not to mention how much history will refer to Twitter and not a single letter.
Well I guess twitter really is dead now.
I want to know, what are "tweets" and "tweeting" going to be relabeled as?
I can just see conversations like:
"Dude, did you see the latest X from Eminem?" "Yeah, I re-X'd it to all my buds!"
X gonna X it to ya.
The one upside of this is that Tucker Carlson spent so much money rebranding to Tucker on Twitter and now it's wasted
