This seems dumb to me. When people said they saw a tweet you knew it was from Twitter - instant brand recognition. A "post" could be from anywhere. Throwing away that distinctive identification seems stupid to me.

It definitely threw away one of the most recognizable brands ever -- one so ubiquitous it had verbs.

Imagine if Google suddenly rebranded as "D" or something. It would be a colossal fart.
