    Looks absolutely well-planned and not rushed at all, perfect alignment of the logo, proper copy. Definitely not just a hasty implementation of a fever dream.

        I’m guessing that skill with Cascading Style Sheets is considered wasted time and effort at X, much like media relations, accessibility, and microservices.

          I enjoy reading about this change because everytime someone writes something like. Look what x did. My first thought isn’t of Twitter or any social media, it’s: “who’s x?” (As in replacement variable)

          So stupid to rebrand like that. Oh well, never used Twitter anyways

    They did a great job replacing a highly marketable icon with character, with something that feels like cliche 80’s dial-up geocities days that doesn’t make sense at all, given the terminology of everything…

    In other news, you need to log in to use twitter now? lol. Wow, genius

      That’s giving him way too much credit. More like an Austin Powers villain, and even that is questionable.
