The internet is throbbing considering the social media app formerly known as Twitter made public a name change a couple of weeks ago. X.com now redirects to Titter.com, with the company’s headquarters now bearing a flashing X where there was once a bird logo. Not to mention the sheer fact that the social app itself now appears as ‘X’ in the Apple and Google app stores.
And considering Twitter is now X, here’s what that means to lovers of this remarkable social media app. Well, the rebrand is another significant step in the ongoing transformation of Twitter, which ones carried with it the reputation of a popular online watering hole for every hyper-connected individual.
It is worth noting that X Corp made the bold decision of acquiring Twitter to allow freedom of speech and serve as an accelerant of X. Initially, the Twitter name did make a lot of sense to both individuals and businesses when it was merely 140-character messages going back and forth.
However, things have taken a different direction considering it is now possible for users to post nearly anything, including several hours of video without worrying about anything. And in the months to come, it is expected that the app will boast a comprehensive communications features and the ability to undertake your entire financial world without straining.
No that the app carries with it a new name; it is easy to wonder what it will do? It is quite evident that Musk has been very vocal regarding the goal of turning Twitter into a so-called super-app. Something quite similar to China’s WeChat.
At the moment, there exists no American equivalent to WeChat, but industry experts foresee an app that entails basically anything a person would like to do online. And that’s easy to see since the app’s users can do a wide range of things on the platform. Whether you want to listen to a podcast, watch videos, or shop, then you can do so hassle-free.
Keep in mind Twitter already allows users to partake in live audio conversations, send longer text messages and broadcast video. And if Twitter’s dream of paid subscriptions comes to pass, rest assured it could subsequently expand into sharing some subscription revenue with users. That comes as good news to anyone who is into monetizing on the different social media apps available.
