X/Twitter post by user merlot mami @KendrasUsername reading: It’s our hilarious interns last day. He’s autistic and a super straight shooter. My VP asked him in front of everyone on his way out “you gonna miss this place & the people at all?” and he said “Um…no” and walked out.

I was listening to NPR yesterday and the reporter kept referring to it as “X, now rebranded Twitter.” What else can you do? If you just say “X” nobody knows what the devil you’re talking about. It’s like “the artist formally known as Prince.” Forever awkward.
I’d rather call it something else (I’m enjoying Xitter, pronounced Shitter), but for the purpose of ease of use I transcribe it as X/Twitter so as to hopefully confuse people as little as possible.

The New York Times actually referred to it as “the service formerly known as Twitter”. I love it, we should all follow suit!
