Yeah, it's just like when Prince changed his name. The media will just keep going "X, formerly known as Twitter" forever.

Prince changed his name to an unprinteable character so they had no choice.

As I recall, some of the media used the short form TAFKAP (the artist formerly known as Prince).

As for xtwitter, I vote for FKT. Pronounced as a word.

in that case Prince changed his name to the artist formally known as Prince because of some sort of trademark or copyright dispute. So again the media is just reporting the facts.

Close. He changed his name to a symbol. It was probably to get out of a recording contract, but the particular symbol he chose was non printable.
