Referring a particular website, should I use the noun adjunct or the genitive/possessive?

possessives internet attributive-nouns social-media

I'm wondering if there are any guidelines about using the noun adjunct or the possessive with a website and a company.

Should I write: go to the Twitter website or go to Twitter's website?

AFAIK both are grammatically correct, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, if it does come down to a stylistic choice, is there any reason to pick one camp over the other?


Solution 1:

It depends on how you think of "Twitter". If Twitter according to you is a website created by a company, then "go to Twitter's website" is correct. If you do not take into consideration the fact that someone made Twitter, then "go to the Twitter website" is correct. Of course, in today's world, one usually says "go to Twitter", treating it like a physical location.
