On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of “Twitter.com” to “X.com” automatically.
If a user typed in “Twitter.com,” they would see “Twitter.com” as they typed it before hitting “Post.” But, after submitting, the platform would show “X.com” in its place on the X for iOS app, without the user’s permission, for everyone viewing the post.
And shortly after this revelation, it became clear that there was another big issue: X was changing anything ending in “Twitter.com” to “X.com.”
How about trademarking Alphabet?
Exactly. Believe it or not, someone invented that word at some point in history. And it wasn’t google.
What? It’s just alpha and beta put together.
Ok i see someone of us needs a refresher on the concept of invention
I don’t really have an issue with that. No one else was using it to do business in the tech space, at least.
It’s a hell of a lot better than Facebook just stealing Meta from a company that was actively using it.
