** [2023 July 25, Mary Walrath-Holdridge, “X’s and Xeets: What we know about Twitter’s rebrand, new logo so far”, in USA Today:One of the biggest questions on everyone’s minds since the change: what are we supposed to call a “tweet” now? Many users have guessed “xeet,” a variation on the original term “tweet.” Posts alleging to be screenshots of the Twitter help center page including the term “xeet” have even circulated on the platform, though notes beneath those tweets have marked them false and a quick visit to the official help page shows only the term “tweet” and no sign of “xeet.”]
