Threads isn't the Twitter killer. Elon Musk is.

What's new in the digital world this week? [image](=) Hi {NAME}, This week the iconic blue bird icon was removed from the desktop version of Twitter – replaced by a stark letter X. The same change will shortly be made on the mobile version. For users of X (Twitter), the rebranding will lead to sweeping changes to familiar vocabulary. People will “x” rather “tweet.” Presumably, on the mobile device, we will now see a list of users who recently “x’ed.” Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it? To find out more info on the rebrand, along with this week's round up of digital news, check out the articles below. Cheers, Jeff What you need to know this week...
