A month ago, Google told us they are rebranding AdWords to Google Ads after 17+ years of using the brand name AdWords for their search ad product. That has happened as of this morning.

The Google AdWords Twitter account at @AdWords is dead, it has been moved to @GoogleAds. Google did post about this on their new Twitter feed:
Last month, we announced that Google AdWords is becoming Google Ads. Starting today, you will begin to see the new Google Ads brand reflected across our product, Help Center, and other channels. This will take several months to roll out fully. Learn more: https://t.co/E2rqPY3AJ2 pic.twitter.com/V6KB0xoRJg

Today is a historic day - although not much is changing right now outside of the brand.
