People still say Twitter instead of X. Of course people are going to continue using the name used when something was first introduced and engrained into their day to day vs the rebrand. It would be funny if ssl.com just redirects to tls.com and get upset when people still refer to it as ssl. The only successful rebrand attempts have been company names like when Comcast became Xfinity or MCI becoming Worldcom type situations

I agree with all except your example. TLS and SSL are about the same memorability wise, Twitter and X are not. If we were talking about a porn website it would be the inverse.

    The fact that they still refer to them as tweets is another thing. What would they call them instead, exes? Those are best kept in Texas.

      That’s the big thing for me. Twitter had its own name for posts. I think it is just posts now.
