As Facebook plans to go all in on the metaverse, a virtual reality space where users can interact with each other in a computer-generated environment, the tech giant has announced it will take on a new name: Meta.

"Today, we're seen as a social media company. But in our DNA, we're a company that builds technology to connect people, and the metaverse is the next frontier, just like social networking was when we got started," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said at Thursday's Connect 2021 event. "From now on, we're going to be metaverse first, not Facebook first. That means that over time, you won't need to use Facebook to use our other services as our new brand starts showing up in our products. I hope that people come to know the Meta brand and the future that we stand for."

Apparently it refers to all of the metadata it's stolen from you and profited from.

I just read that in Hebrew, Facebook Meta means Facebook is dead.


I don't know if it is true.

One might think It's more intended like Google's Alphabet rather than straight out rebranding, but the timing is unfortunate to say the least. It sure feels like deflection attempt.

As to the name, I heard a rumor his girlfriend's charity somehow ate a small search engine for scientific publications called Meta, and they now are appropriated the brand. It's awful but for jokes.

I don't share the Zuckerburgers vision for humanity. Everyone sitting around in a dark room with wires attached to our heads and living life inside a computer.

But the more people he convinces to do that, the less douchebags out in the real world irritating me.
