How is Twitter a bad name? I immediately get the imagine of birds tweeting at each other which is exactly how twitter works, only that birds would probably say less stupid shit.
Did you think “Twitter” was a good name?
Because it’s not.
But it is. It’s brief, it is memorable enough and is unique (which also makes it googlable)

I just tooted while reading this.
