A tweet (now officially known as a post since 2023) is a short status update on the social networking site Twitter (officially known as X since 2023) which can include images, videos, GIFs, straw polls, hashtags, mentions, and hyperlinks. Around 80% of all tweets are made by 10% of users, averaging 138 tweets per month, with the median user making only two tweets per month.
Following the acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk in October 2022, and rebranding of the site as "X" in June 2023, all references to the word "tweet" were removed from the service, changed to "post", and "retweet" changed to "repost".[1] The terms "tweet" and "retweet" are still more popular when referring to posts on X.[2][3]
