and Tweet is sooooo much better. not. :laugh: Both terms are silly and foolish. The whole things is silly and foolish. To think, that after thousands of years of existence and evolution, humankind has come to Tweets and X's. Shoot me now. :sigh:

Change for the sake of change. No substance, no practical use. It's a perfect metaphor for Twatter. :-D

At least birds 'tweet' to interact with the world, so it has a parallel. Nothing in the world I know of 'X's, except as a metaphor for closing or death (or a stupid shortcut for Xmas :rolleyes: ). I take that back - maybe 'X' is a good renaming after all! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Twitter -> tweet --< twit. and we all know the definition of twit. As I said, the entire thing is silly.

FWIW, here's a great X...at least I like it! :) Ineresting note: the album was funded by pre-orders. Those who pre-ordered have the honor of hearing their names in one of the tracks. IMHO, a great album cover to cover. X (Spock's Beard album) - Wikipedia[^]

I've been with CP for over 20 year snow and it's a great place and about as social as I get. No Twitter, no Faceslap (or whatever it's called now), no Instagram, no TikTok, no SnapChat (don't even know what the hell it is).

I thought "tweet(ing)" was juvenile from day one, and it has never crossed my lips.

People mentioning how long they've been here made me lookup my profile. I thought it was about 10, but it's actually approaching 17 years. Doesn't time fly...
