Twitter is now X as the little blue bird disappears
The new X logo has started replacing the blue bird on the web.
Twitter is transforming into X, as the site’s former bird logo has now been replaced by an official new X logo. Elon Musk, who owns the transformed social media site, began signaling the change early Sunday morning with a series of tweets, starting with one that said, “and soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”
You're viewing a single thread.
The twitter branding was one of the few things actually going for it. Oh look a cute birdie, oh look the house is a birdhouse! GET IT!
Now it's, an X? A meaningless X? With a birdhouse home icon and bird-related words everywhere?
It looks close enough like a swastika that he can sell merch easier to his fanbase. Armband sales are gonna go through the roof
He killed the blue canary in the outlet by the light switch. Where is the birdhouse in our soul now?
Omg, it's "outlet by the lightswitch!" I've been trying to decipher that line for years!
As has been pointed out elsewhere on the net, the Twitter branding was the most valuable part besides the already existing userbase. Having "tweeting" and as a verb in everyday English has been a godsend marketing specialists can only dream of and it has become so prevalent in news and journalism, it's both hilarious and depressing.
Elon is really working to make the dream of mainstream Mastodon and a big fediverse a reality.
start tootin' everyone lets make it catch on...
Nah, people will move to Threads or Blusky not Mastodon.
