“…she shared on Xitter…”

OMG, it took me a second to figure it out, but this is the perfect new name for the service. Just brilliant and hilarious.

If the Chinese name Xi is pronounced like English "she", does Xitter get pronounced "shitter" ?

I know it's meant to be a joke but I can't help but be a little pedantic: Xi is pronounced more like "see" -- "she" would more like xü
