A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Do you pronounce the X in Xitter like the X in Xi?
At this point it really doesn't matter. Say it however you like.
I pronounce it like "twitter" and I spell it that way too.
It's not like anyone wants that word for anything else. It's just a play on onomatopoeia that some marketing company made up ages ago because it was easy to search.
Nobody will be confused by the term, and it's not like twitter is going to do anything terribly relevant from here on out except spiral into the ground. To the extent it matters to history, that's what people will remember it as.
I do.
