Twitter has finally changed the name from Birdwatch to Community Notes, check details

In a series of tweets by Twitter’s new Community Notes showed that now Elon Musk is gone for a major overhaul at Twitter. The thread on Twitter starts with a meme that showed two images in which logos of both bird watch and Community Notes can be seen. Next to that, it was written Corporate needs to find a difference between the two, and below that was Elon Musk saying No Difference at all.

The birdwatch oops Community notes stated in the same thread that:

Birdwatch is now Community Notes. We’ve seen our contributors trying to explain what Birdwatch is, and we think a simpler, more intuitive name will help understanding. Hence Community Notes. It’s… what it is.

This isn’t just a random new name. It’s actually Birdwatch’s very first name. Before there was a Birdwatch, before there was anyone building this thing, there was a design mockup envisioning the idea, and you know what it was called?

There is one more change if you are a contributor you will see the new name that is Community watch instead of the birdwatch that was there earlier.

The new Twitter community notes also have a GitHub repo that can be accessed from here.

In the end, the thread was closed by Thanking Jack founder of Twitter. The tweet read We’d like to thank our “find and replace” command which has been working 24/7 and sleeping in the office the past week. And @jack – we’ll always have a soft spot for “Birdwatch” and are grateful for all of your support since day 1.
