Meme fest in Twitter as it changes its blue bird logo to Doge meme
San Francisco: The blue bird logo of Twitter was replaced by an image of a shiba inu dog on Monday. This image is commonly known as the Doge meme and is often associated with the cryptocurrency Dogecoin. The CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk, has been known to promote Dogecoin on the platform.
It appears that the recent logo change on Twitter was nothing, but a prank played by the micro-blogging website. The change was initiated by Elon Musk, who shared a meme on Twitter about the altered logo and even posted screenshots of an old conversation where a user had suggested that Musk should buy Twitter and change its logo to a 'doge'. It seems like Musk's sense of humor is still going strong, even when it comes to his business ventures.
Since Monday, Twitter has been filled with a plethora of memes related to the logo alteration.

It is worth noting that the recent logo change on Twitter occurred just a few days after Elon Musk filed a petition in court seeking the dismissal of a $258 billion lawsuit filed against him by Dogecoin investors.
The investors accused Musk of promoting Dogecoin in an illegal pyramid scheme. In February 2021, Musk had tweeted in support of Dogecoin, which caused its value to increase by 44%, according to a report by Market Watch. Similarly, on Monday, the value of Dogecoin surged by 36% after Investor's Business Daily reported the news of Twitter's logo change. It seems that Musk's involvement in the world of cryptocurrency and social media continues to spark reactions and speculation.
On Tuesday morning, the official Twitter account of Dogecoin posted a famous photo of the dog that inspired the Doge meme, along with some interesting facts about her. The tweet revealed that the dog's name is Kabosu and she still lives with her owner, Atsuko Sato, in Sakura, Japan. Kabosu was a rescue dog and gained popularity as a meme after Atsuko shared photos of her on her blog in 2010, including the one used for the meme. Kabosu turned 17 years old on November 2 last year, which is quite an impressive feat for a dog. The tweet from Dogecoin's official account sheds light on the origins of the meme and the dog behind it, which has become a symbol of the cryptocurrency.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
