Twitter bird logo changed to ‘X’: Recently Twitter changed its iconic bird logo and adopted ‘X’ as its official logo which is being severely criticized by the net citizens and currently the RIP Twitter is a top trend in United Kingdom (UK) due to this change.
The changing of logo from bird to ‘X’s is the result of Elon Musk announcement which he made around five days ago and the change is live at the moment.
“Musk had tweeted that x.com now also redirects to twitter.com. In the post, Musk also called this an “interim” logo, so we might see another logo change in the future,” reported a few media outlets.
This is pertinent to mention here that Musk has revealed his plans to change the logo of Twitter with X which is live in black and white colors at the moment.
The renowned and iconic bird logo of the Twitter has been removed and replaced by the new logo which now has ‘X’ as the new logo of this social media platform.
However, this new change seems not acceptable to many net users who believe that with this change Twitter is no more. Already many net users have become part of “RIP Twitter” trend. Around 5,000 tweets have already been made on the topic and this process is still going on. There are several persons as well who are criticizing those who are against this change.
“You know when you stay too long in a Club and they turn on the lights so you leave? Or a pub that calls last drinks and turns the music off? Or when a friend starts yawning and looking at their watch?
That’s what Twitter feels like right now,” maintained a netcitizen who is participating in this trend.
Twitter is a popular social media platform that allows users to post short messages, known as “tweets,” of up to 280 characters. These messages can contain text, images, videos, and links. Twitter has become an integral part of modern communication, used by millions of people worldwide to share news, opinions, and updates in real-time. Here’s a brief history of Twitter:
Inception (2006):
Twitter was founded in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams. The idea for Twitter originated from Jack Dorsey, who came up with the concept of a short messaging service that would allow users to share status updates with a network of friends. Initially, it was named “twttr,” inspired by the short, snappy nature of tweets.
Public Launch (2006):
On July 15, 2006, Twitter was officially launched to the public. The early days of the platform were focused on gaining traction and attracting users.
Rapid Growth (2007):
Throughout 2007, Twitter’s popularity grew steadily. The platform gained significant attention during the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive conference in March 2007, where it was widely used to share updates and connect with attendees. This event played a crucial role in Twitter’s rapid expansion.
Evolution of the Retweet and Hashtags (2007-2009):
In 2007, the “retweet” function was introduced, allowing users to easily share someone else’s tweet with their followers. This feature contributed to the viral spread of information on the platform. Additionally, Twitter users started adopting hashtags (#) in 2007, which became a way to categorize and find tweets related to specific topics.
Celebrities and Mainstream Adoption (2009):
Twitter’s user base expanded further as celebrities, politicians, and prominent figures began using the platform to engage with their fans and followers. This brought mainstream attention to Twitter and contributed to its widespread adoption.
Growth Challenges and Improvements (2010-2011):
Twitter experienced significant growth challenges due to frequent outages and service disruptions. However, the company made improvements to its infrastructure to handle the increasing user load and maintain stability.
Introduction of the 280-Character Limit (2017):
Originally, tweets were limited to 140 characters. However, in 2017, Twitter doubled the character limit to 280 characters, allowing users to express themselves more extensively in each tweet.
Battle Against Misinformation and Abuse:
Twitter faced issues related to the spread of misinformation and the presence of abusive behavior on its platform. The company implemented various measures to combat these problems, including user reporting tools, content moderation, and policy updates.
Over the years, Twitter continued to introduce new features, such as live video streaming, threaded conversations, and “Twitter Moments,” which curate notable tweets on specific topics or events. The platform remained an essential part of breaking news coverage and real-time communication.
