Do You Call It Twitter or X? A Poll's Surprising Result

It's closer than you think. A recent poll asked people what they call the platform formerly known as Twitter, and the results are pretty split.

So, yeah, it's basically a tie between 'Twitter' and 'X'. Some people are sticking to their guns, while others are trying to respect the new overlords.

Here's what a few people had to say:

@DelusionalDevX: "@civilianweb3 It's Twitter for me"

@aryan_j_mehta: "@civilianweb3 Definitely Twitter 😉😄😃 but sometimes X just to show the respect to it's owner.😆😄"

@itsDhruvBaghel: "@civilianweb3 It's X now"

Analysis

What does this tell us? Well, for one thing, branding is hard. You can't just rename a globally recognized platform and expect everyone to fall in line. Also, people seem to have very strong opinions about this, even the ones who are trying to be diplomatic about it.

Even with the official name change, many users still identify and refer to the platform by its original moniker, highlighting the enduring power of established brand recognition.
