    Are we supposed to call it X now? What a dumb name, in my opinion.

      ‘The site formerly known as twitter’

      The unpleasantly long name just makes it funnier imo

        “TSFKAT”.

        Fewer letters than “Twitter”, expresses more than “X”.

        I have seen worse names (“X Æ A-12”) get more eyeballs.

      I liked someone’s suggestion to pronounce it as “ten”
