Back on ~July 31st of this year:<BR>X (formerly known as Twitter), so it's been a few months...How much longer will people online refer to X as formerly Twitter?Another MonthAt Least 6 More MonthsA Year From NowForever

Reminds me of “The Entertainer formerly Known as Prince”.

I have already seen news organizations simply using X and not referencing twitter.

I did not answer the pole since I already reference it as X and not twitter.

Me too.

I keep hearing the news twinkies referring to it as "... X, formerly known as Twitter ...", or "... the social media platform formerly known as Twitter ..." . In a lot of the latter instances they don't even use the "X". I tend to still just refer to it at Twitter.

It only took twelve or so years for them to say 'global warming' without having to immediately follow it with 'you know, the greenhouse effect'.

Can no longer say my coworkers are Twitter on the shitter when I can't find them.

Just switch it to 'Slidin' a Biden'.

Although not known to be a tribe of bellwethers, New Yorkers still refer to the Met Life Building as the “Pan Am” Building… going on 30+ years now.

I don’t know when The Avenue of the Americas was named… but most New Yorkers still say “Sixth Avenue.”

So, maybe X will be known as Twitter for a good long time.

I’m still trying to figure out what a post from “X” is supposed to be referred as? When it was Twitter, you made a “tweet” which made sense. Now do you make an X on X?

I call it Twix, as I don't have an account either.

^^^^^^^
I like it!
I don't have an account either.

I'm still saying, "clockwise".

It's over, at least at Fox.

". . . said he was fired for reposting tweets on X . . . ."

My wife made a comment about it and I asked, "you only feel that way because you accepted 'twitter' and 'tweet' early on."

Then I mentioned, Twitter was just as dumb if not more so, and 'tweeting' moronic. Anyway, I then explained how that platform and restrictions no longer exists, you can live stream, post videos, etc. And there is definitely no restriction on 160 characters. I am even thinking of paying the subscription model just to do away with ads and unlock the new stuff.

I find the new X to and 'messages' to be a lot of fun.

I then mentioned I would let Elon get to 2nd base and she got mad at me. . .

Call it an Xy (rhymes with sexy).
Call it a pirate's treasure because X marks the spot.
Could call it a spot, get it? Rearrange the letters in p o s t, gets spot.
How about calling it a Y? That's what a lot of people think when they read things on X and it's much shorter than "what a waste of bandwidth".
Call it a T to piss off Ford.

It's a brave new world.

That's good. It combines twitter and X.

I've seen "Xwitter" a number of times.

I think it depends on the social acceptance of one or the other.

For instance, McCarran Airport will never be harryfuckinreid to me.

I encourage you to do so. I did. I regard it as an investment in free speech more than anything else.

But, be warned: There be hoops through which one is obliged to jump if they want the Coveted Blue Check-Mark.

On Twitter you Tweet.

On X you . . ?

Twixter maybe?

So, um... if you learn about something on "new Twitter," will you have heard it on the X?
