The Verge of overseas media reports that unlabeled retweets of accounts not following are displayed on Twitter's 'Following' tab. The Verge points out that this is not due to Twitter's 'recommendation' algorithm , but as a result of Twitter stopping labeling retweets 'who retweeted'.

Previously, Twitter's 'Following' tab would show retweets from Twitter accounts you follow, clearly labeled with who retweeted them. However, because this label disappeared, tweets from accounts that I did not follow were displayed on the timeline for some reason. However, if you click on this tweet of unknown origin, you will see who retweeted it at the top of the tweet.


It is unknown whether the disappearance of this label is due to a specification change or just a bug. However, at the time of writing the article, it has also been confirmed that this ``label to clarify who retweeted'' has been revived.

In addition, the browser version of Twitter has replaced the Twitter icon with the Dogecoin icon ( Doge ). Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter, is known to be an avid supporter of Dogecoin .



Doge is also displayed when loading the browser version of Twitter.



Since the Twitter icon was replaced with the Dogecoin icon, the price of Dogecoin soared from less than 8 cents (about 10.6 yen) to 9 cents (about 11.9 yen).



Both the disappearance of the retweet label and the replacement of the Twitter icon with the Dogecoin icon have been confirmed only in the browser version of Twitter, and have not been confirmed in the app version or TweetDeck.

Since Twitter's press mail does not function by automatically replying poop pictograms to comment requests, it seems that even if you make an official inquiry, you will not get a response.

However, after the Twitter icon changed to a Shiba Inu icon on April 4, a user said, ``A meme illustration of Doge showing a driver's license with a Twitter icon printed on it and saying, 'It's an old photo. Did this meme posted by Mr. Mask yesterday predict something?'




Then Mask CEO reacts to this tweet as 'nice'.




In the past, he also tweeted that he had been asked to 'acquire Twitter' and 'make the bird logo a Doge icon', and that he kept this promise.




In addition, Mask CEO has been sued for 'operating a pyramid scheme with Dogecoin'.
