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.

K'taka govt, Taiwan's Allegiance Group sign MoU to establish industrial technology innovation park
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka government on Friday signed an MoU with Allegiance International Co Ltd of Taiwan to establish an Indo-Taiwan Industrial Technology Innovation Park (ITIP) in the state, with a proposed investment of around Rs 1,000 crore.
The MoU was signed by Rahul Sharanappa Sankanur, Director, Department of Electronics, IT, BT and Lawrence Chen, VP, Allegiance Group in the presence of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Minister for Electronics, IT & BT Priyank Kharge, and senior officials.
The project will be undertaken by the Allegiance Group with a proposed investment of around Rs 1,000 crore, leading to the creation of about 800 direct jobs via the companies setting up operations in ITIP over a period of 5 years, the IT&BT Minister's office said in a statement.
The ITIP will serve as a dedicated hub for Taiwanese companies in electronics and semiconductors, fostering advanced manufacturing, R&D, and innovation. This collaboration aims to strengthen Karnataka's position as India's leading destination for Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) and accelerate the growth of the semiconductor ecosystem in the state.
Key highlights of the MoU include establishment of a world-class industrial park to house Taiwanese firms in electronics and semiconductor sectors; development of a robust supply chain ecosystem for components, PCBs, and chip design; creation of high-value jobs and skill development programmes in collaboration with academic institutions; and promotion of technology transfer and global best practices to enhance India's competitiveness in electronics manufacturing.
CM Siddaramaiah said this partnership marks a significant step towards realising Karnataka's vision of becoming a global hub for electronics and semiconductor innovation.
"The ITIP will attract cutting-edge technology and investments, creating opportunities for our youth and strengthening India's position in the global value chain," he said.
Minister Priyank Kharge said Karnataka has led India's technology revolution and continues to dominate in innovation, deep-tech talent, and semiconductor design.
"This partnership will accelerate our efforts to build a robust electronics and semiconductor ecosystem. We are committed to creating a level playing field and ensuring that Karnataka remains the preferred destination for global investors in advanced technologies," he said.
Lawrence Chen said, "We are excited to collaborate with Karnataka, a state known for its technology leadership. The ITIP will be a catalyst for Taiwanese companies to expand in India and contribute to the growth of the semiconductor and electronics ecosystem."
