I’ll start by apologizing for continuing to talk about Twitter at this point, which I should link to the vast majority continue to use their usual name to refer to this social network. It’s not like I, a mere mortal, would consider ignoring Elon Musk, of course not… the vast majority of users did… yes, Twitter.

The preservation of the old name also makes a special sense to me in the context of this news, namely that as a regular user of both services withEvery time I start typing the name of one of them, Twitch or Twitter, in the browser bar, Murphy makes sure that the address the browser suggests is the opposite in most cases. Of course, it’s not like there are many more pages with the reach of those whose address starts with the letters “Twit”.

Until now, this was the only point of agreement between the two services.so something that we can consider a simple coincidence or, if we prefer to think it wrong, the idea of ​​​​the creators of the Internet streaming service, when they decided to leave their original name (Justin.tv) to be similar to one of the main social networks, to find out , whether they attracted more users in this way (also thanks to the automatic filling function).

However, it seems that there will soon be another random point, and much deeper than that title, because Twitter is testing to become a live streaming platform. And no, this is not a rumor or a leak, but a test conducted by Elon Musk, who yes, instead of using his personal account, he used another s username Player and the identifier cyb3rgam3r420 (I will save my opinion on it).

We can see the replies to this message from his personal account and in addition he also retweeted a message with a test video of it. However, we have to reckon with that Online direct selling is a really complicated industry.. After its emergence during the pandemic, we’ve seen its numbers dwindle substantially and initiatives like Facebook Gaming hit the inevitable wall of reality. Twitter, for its part, is making a big effort to add more user-generated content (no doubt a smart move), but I very seriously doubt it will work in this case.
