X really wants you to forget about Twitter.

X’s new terms of service insist that tweets are now posts::X is rolling out a new terms of service on September 29th, and one adjustment is a single instance of “retweet” to “repost.” There are other changes regarding data scraping and class action lawsuits.

    Nothing says marketing genius like throwing away one of the most recognisable brands in the industry and replacing it with “X”

      When your brand gets to the point where it turns into a verb why on earth would you ever torpedo that?

      It’s like if Google changed their name to “search” and prodded people to say “just search it” instead of “just google it”.

        It’s even worse. It would be like Google changing their name to Y and telling people to “just search it”.
