    Does this mean I won’t be able to use the letter ‘x’ anymore because a multi-billion dollar company has trademarked it:

    • Two people fighting will now be boing.
    • When I want to bake some bread I will mi the ingredients together.
    • When I want to leave a building I will eit it.
    • I will now look up to the stars at night to see the magnificent epance of the Milkyway galay.

          Yup, looks like it. New logo, new name (in the works), new url. I think he’s been telling people to use x.com, though it just redirects to twitter.com for now. My app doesn’t look any different yet, but the desktop site seems to have all the logos switched.
