Sometimes I hate it when I’m right… I saw that Twitter has replaced the blue bird with an “X”. On a lark, I typed in “x.com” into my web browser just to see…

One guess what website I ended up on?

I’m imaging it now – someone bought “x.com” 20 years ago and cursed the day they ever wasted money on it, yet hung onto it… Their friends all made fun of them… Now they are on vacation spending their winnings…

I hereby issue my next proclamation – Twitter shall be known as “X” or “x.com” within 6 months, and the twitter.com website shall redirect to x.com rather than vice versa.

So Let It Be Written. So Let It Be Done.

Oh – and yes, I’m mildly irritated.

    you don’t casually own a single letter domain for 20 years and curse the day you ever wasted the money on it ($8 per year)

    all the single letter domains were probably purchased the same day the registrations were opened, and as a business decision (spend $80 over a decade hoping that a sucker like musk will buy it from you for a million)
