I'm just having a laugh that there's still like 4 instances on that page alone where twitter is still a thing.

Bird for sharing. Twitter down the bottom of the page. Primary light blue color.

Also, for some reason the X on the favicon for this site is orange???

If you go onto twitter.com without being signed in, it says "Join twitter today"

What a laugh this rebranding is.

To be fair it's still in progress. It's debatable whether that's a good or bad thing. Given how strong the Twitter brand is, it could be a good thing.

But the question remains: what do you now call tweets? Such strong marketing in that verb.

In the app it says "Posts" in some places where it used to say "Tweets" (and Reposts for Retweets). I imagine most people will continue to use "tweet" though.

And of course this page is on blog.twitter.com. It seems x.com redirects to twitter.com, but I wonder what's stopping them switching it over? I suppose there's a million places in their code and other in systems where "twitter.com" is still expected.

For me the favicon is still the bird (though inverted, so the surrounded area is blue and the bird is transparent).

Favicons are cached by browsers (pretty much permanently in some). I opened a new browser and checked the page.
