A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

yeah, well, even the @twitter account now has the X logo.

Nitter Link of twitter account, showing X Logo

x.com redirects to twitter.com as well.

Wonder if Businesses will replace the twitter logo in their windows as well.

At this time, many businesses are indeed probably replacing their twitter logo, with either Mastodon, threads, or nothing as a replacement

I doubt they will for a while at least. This change was so sudden that a lot of people will just not know what X is. It doesn't look like a social media icon and a lot of people will just not be familiar with it.

It's also horribly forgettable, even if I did use X regularly, I might just forget what the icon looked like out of context.
