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.

This is not what most users signed up for when they signed up on Twitter.

I think they should go with 💩Shitter - it’s where most people use it anyway.

It's just the trump style of marketing. Do stupid shit constantly and the media will never shut up about you and people will never stop talking about whatever bullshit it is you're selling.

I'll believe it once the Twitter name and the birdie are both removed off the face of the site and gone for good. And even then I'm not entirely sure I'm going to care all that much.

RIP his SEO. I know it's part of his goal for an "everything" app. But, this name is just terrible and is going to be a nightmare to look up. Not to mention how much history will refer to Twitter and not a single letter.
