X (Twitter)
Microblogging platform rebranded from Twitter — still a primary distribution channel for developers despite migration losses.
Definition
X (formerly Twitter) is the microblogging platform owned by Elon Musk's xAI. Despite significant developer migration to Bluesky and Mastodon after 2022, X remains the largest real-time technical conversation surface and a meaningful distribution channel for blog posts. The official API is paid; most automation work uses third-party tools or RSS feeds for monitoring.
