The social-media site X is offering hefty discounts to lure back ad dollars

What I don’t understand is the Twitter rebrand will it be limited to the logo or also the name?

Or will it be limited to X corp. as the parent company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Corp.

Here’s it is, straight from the horse’s rear:

exscape

fedilink

The name, and domain. It will be x.com with the X logo, and no birds anywhere.

How will anyone ever search for anything on X? Just add X to the search term? ‘Grandmas cookies X’? ‘Cute bunny X’? ‘Pen Island X’?

Due to a weird Google quirk, you’ll get better results if you surround the query with two additional X’s, kind of like quotation marks. For example:

Grandmas cookies XXX

Cute bunny xxx

Pen Island xxx

Pigeon

… Gosh, that has much potential to make everything sound dirty or sleezy, too. 🤦 xxx

X.x

In this case you would search “cute bunny x.com

Wasn’t there that whole thing about not being able to view tweets without logging in? That may affect Google’s scrapers enough that you won’t have to worry about how to phrase your search lol
