The name Facebook will soon be a thing of the past, the reason is the metaverse. At least, everything points to that. A big shock.
CU2, Hyves, MySpace. Just a few social networking sites that have failed to stay relevant in the long term. Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook did just that. The company grew into a tech giant at the level of Google and Apple. Especially because WhatsApp and Instagram were bought and fall under Facebook.
But the name Facebook also has a lot of trouble. Live-streamed murders, corporate power, influence in political elections. No, not everything is so positive about Facebook. Maybe it’s a good thing the name goes in the trash. In any case, it looks like it.
Facebook and the metaverse
According to The Verge Mark Zuckerberg is going to announce next week that Facebook will continue under a new name. The new name would suit the company better. In the coming years, Facebook will mainly focus on metaverse technology. The metaverse is a virtual world without borders. Companies can come up with all kinds of applications in that metaverse, which creates an overlap. A world as we know it today, but completely digital. Switch from a digital meeting to your favorite games in the same virtual environment. That’s the metaverse in a nutshell.
A new name could also mean a fresh start for Zuckerberg. It remains to be seen what this all means. We will know more in the short term!
