    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.

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