minus-square@supercriticalcheese@feddit.itlinkfedilinkEnglish18•11 months agoWhat 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.
minus-squareexscapelinkfedilink8•11 months agoThe name, and domain. It will be x.com with the X logo, and no birds anywhere.
minus-square@tankfox@latte.isnot.coffeelinkfedilink8•11 months agoHow will anyone ever search for anything on X? Just add X to the search term? ‘Grandmas cookies X’? ‘Cute bunny X’? ‘Pen Island X’?
minus-squareivanafteralllinkfedilink6•11 months agoDue 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
minus-square@Master@beehaw.orglinkfedilink3•11 months agoIn this case you would search “cute bunny x.com”
minus-square@Hazzia@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink3•11 months agoWasn’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

Here’s it is, straight from the horse’s rear:
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
In this case you would search “cute bunny x.com”
