X could turn profitable next year, reveals CEO Linda Yaccarino

[ad_1] Over the last 12 months, X (formerly Twitter) has undergone a multitude of changes. Elon Musk's acquisition of the microblogging platform has spurred controversy from day 1, with people calling measures such as the removal of verification, and temporarily limiting tweet views draconian.

This shocking Elon Musk comment sparked a new record for Jack Dorsey-led Bluesky

[ad_1] Bluesky is a decentralized social app that was launched this year as an alternative to X (formerly Twitter). The app was co-founded by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. Notably, since Musk's takeover of Twitter, whenever he says something shocking, it sparks an exodus of users from his platform to rivals like Bluesky. This has happened again. The app on September 19, 2023, saw a massive spike in new user signup after Musk made a shocking comment about making X a paid-only app for everyone.

While it is not clear what caused the increase in users in a single day, but the comment might have had an impact on users' minds. Know how many new users joined X competitor Bluesky.

X active users dropped, but in big surprise, Twitter Lite downloads saw 350% jump

[ad_1] The rebranding of X (formerly Twitter) was likely the hastiest exercise of its kind ever undertaken. The entire process took three days and involved crowd-sourcing a logo, taking off all physical and digital logos of Larry the Bird and replacing it with the new logo, and even adding a gigantic X on top of the company's San Francisco headquarters.

As a result, the weekly active users as well as the app ranking on both Play Store and App Store took a big hit. But surprisingly, Twitter Lite emerged as an unexpected winner in all this chaos.According to TechCrunch a report that quoted Sensor Tower data, revealed that whe...
