Bottom Liner posted:Meta did not stick at all other than for terminally online folks. The general public have no idea what Meta is. Pretty much, ask a normal person about Meta and they might have heard about the Metaverse, not that it has anything to do with Facebook.

OneEightHundred posted:Nobody calls the Google company "Alphabet" unless it's some financial reporting poo poo. That's because Alphabet is just a holding company created to own Google and other things. Meta was a full rebrand of Facebook Inc.

OneEightHundred posted:Most things that refer to the company refer to it as "Meta" now, the same can definitely not be said for "Alphabet." Facebook doesn't actually exist as a company, right? Google does and most of what people interact with is under Google. Like Meta produces Facebook and Instagram, Google produces search, Gmail, etc. Alphabet will get mentioned in the context of like Waymo because Google doesn't own them

OneEightHundred posted:Most things that refer to the company refer to it as "Meta" now, the same can definitely not be said for "Alphabet." In the case of Google/Alphabet, that was 100% by design. IIRC, at the time, Google was going absolutely nuts with acquisitions, and the idea was to prevent these from polluting the Google brand by keeping them as separate entities (it happened right after a bunch of really bad press wrt/ Nest). Google itself never attempted any form of rebrand. It was about the other companies sitting underneath the corporate umbrella. Aramis fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Jul 24, 2023 |

I feel like I've seen that exact logo before. It looks a lot like the Sharp x68000 logo but it isn't quite the same...

Google and Facebook got away with their respective corporate renamings without drama because they didn't touch the brand. Everything that was branded Google is still branded Google. Facebook.com is still Facebook. Elmo would have had a similar no-drama corporate renaming to X if he'd left Twitter branded as Twitter; but of course he couldn't do that, because he's an imbecile; and because fascists just simply don't have any fun unless someone can see them rolling around in poo poo.

Remember in Glass Onion, Ed Norton's character was going on about how he wants to have his name next to the Mono Lisa? I think that's what Musky is trying to do; he wants it to be when people think/see the letter X, they want to think about him. Which will probably be true, but not in the way he wants it to be, probably be "that moron, thinking calling all his poo poo X would be cool, loser".

Speleothing posted:Ahhh, but you see. He didn't just buy Twitter like a loser. He created x. He's a creator and a founder, not just a money guy. This is very important to emphasize that x is a transformation into a new thing that he made and nobody else. Necromancing this but this is exactly it. He was on a tear this weekend also yelling at people that he didn't INVEST in Tesla, he FOUNDED TESLA. And trying to pretend him being fired for incompetence from Cofinity (later PayPal) was cool actually. He thinks 2 years from now he'll have the worlds biggest website, which he created and owns, and can just pretend he never bought Twitter

Aramis posted:I haven't watched cable news in forever, but they (used to?) plaster twitter handles all over the place whenever someone's speaking, which put a ton of wind in the platform's sails. It being a friendly and inoffensive bird made that possible. There is no way whatsoever that CNN & co. are going to pollute their screens with edgy Spike TV whanabe bullcrap. Few pages back but I get paid to watch TV for a living - survey writing for marketing research - and absolutely. It's loving everywhere. Especially on the Late Night Shows, although with the strike those aren't a factor right now, but it's still on lots of game shows and reality competition shows. And the Bravo reality TV nonsense poo poo use it constantly, too. I know Musk's been trying to make this a thing for decades, but this particular aspect of that decades-long quest was absolutely the result of some manic episode and not something he planned. Like this is so loving monumentally stupid, even for him, that even with the few sycophants left at Twi - I'm sorry, X - I don't think they'd have let him do it this suddenly if he had talked about it before-hand. This is the child who told his parents for months he wanted to be a skeleton for Halloween, and then the night before Halloween says he changed his mind and forces his mother to spend all night awake making him a dinosaur costume. Only come Halloween night, there's still a good chance he'll demand to be a skeleton and that his father make an emergency trip to the store to buy him a skeleton costume.
