What article on segment.com/docs is affected?

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

In the custom trait section, the language currently states:

"User’s username. This should be unique to each user, like the usernames of Twitter or GitHub."

Since Twitter officially rebranded as X, this reference should be updated for accuracy.

  • Twitter was acquired by Elon Musk in October 2022. - Wikipedia
  • In April 2023 the legal entity changed from “Twitter, Inc.” to X Corp.. - Forbes Australia
  • On July 23–24 2023 the “Twitter” brand and bird logo were formally replaced by “X”, signalling the rebrand of the platform. - ABC News

Suggested change:
In the trait description, replace “Twitter” with “X” (and/or include a parenthetical note such as “formerly Twitter”).
