Adios ‘Blue Bird’. Bienvenido ‘X’
In a daring move that has left the social media world abuzz, Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk has taken the platform in a direction no one saw coming. With the sudden rebranding to ‘X,’ the Tesla CEO has bid farewell to the beloved Twitter name and iconic bird logo, leaving many questioning his intentions. Under Musk’s ownership, Twitter has already undergone significant changes, but this latest move has proven to be the most contentious to date. The decision to part ways with the recognizable Twitter branding has sparked a wave of criticism, with many fearing that Musk might be attempting to dismantle rather than rebuild the platform’s image.
The immediate replacement of the Twitter Icon logo with ‘X’ has left users puzzled and divided. Some argue that the change was unnecessary and risks alienating long-time users who had grown accustomed to the familiar look and feel of the platform. They fear that this move might isolate the core user base and deter potential newcomers. Additionally, Musk’s proposal to rename tweets as ‘X’s has not been met with much enthusiasm. Critics argue that this change only adds confusion and complicates the platform’s already unique lexicon.
Musk’s vision of transforming the platform into a new, more innovative space might be the key to its survival in a rapidly evolving social media landscape. While it’s too early to determine the ultimate impact of this drastic overhaul, one thing is certain: Elon Musk’s Twitter transformation has sparked an intense debate across the online community. As the social media giant navigates this uncharted territory, only time will tell if ‘X’ will mark the spot for Twitter’s triumphant resurgence or lead to its downfall.
In a world where rebranding can make or break a company, Musk’s gamble with ‘X’ will undoubtedly be one of the most closely watched developments in the entertainment and tech spheres. For now, all eyes are on Twitter, waiting to see if this audacious move will prove to be a stroke of genius or a risky leap of faith.

New WhatsApp Feature Lets You Mention Contacts In Status Updates
WhatsApp has recently added a new feature to its Status updates, allowing users to tag contacts directly.
Currently available on Android for users with beta version 2.24.20.3 or higher, this update introduces a @ button that lets you mention specific contacts in your Status.
Once tagged, they receive both a notification and a message, ensuring they won’t miss your update. Tagged contacts can also reshare your Status, but only they will see their mention, preserving privacy.
Unlike Instagram, WhatsApp keeps the identity of the original Status creator hidden when tagged contacts reshare it. One key thing to note is that if you’ve blocked someone from viewing your Status, they can still see it if tagged using this feature.
This update, along with WhatsApp’s other hidden features, aims to make interactions more personal and dynamic on the platform.
