Twitter made an extremely big move this week by becoming X.

This is just the latest in a string of changes the social media network is making.

Some of the changes were small and some — like the big X — were not so small.

Keep scrolling as Alrika Möller from media update explores what the change from Twitter to X means.

The most noticeable changes are the logo and the name. The iconic Twitter birdie flew the coop and took its particular shade of blue with. The logo got replaced by a big letter X on a black background.


Along with the logo change, Twitter or should I say X (this might take some getting used to) also moved in under the domainname X.com. If you are an online Twitter user, you can relax, typing in Twitter.com will also take you to the social media network, for now.

With Twitter changing to X, the vocabulary is also changing. The word tweets is supposed to change to Xs. However, for the time being you will still need to hit the tweet button if you want to post and retweet if you want to share other tweets or Xs.
