Mark Zuckerberg has suggested plans of changing Facebook ‘s company name sometime this week. The renaming comes as a way of reflecting their intention of building a metaverse of social media. The CEO is showing a keen interest in being remembered as the one who brought this metaverse into existence.
A parent company for various apps
The annual Connect conference will be the place Zuckerberg plans to bring his idea to light. The name change comes in an effort by the company to steer away from the negative image that certain darker aspects of social media have brought them. After the rebranding, the familiar blue Facebook app will be just one of several other products that fall under a parent company that houses the likes of Instagram, Whatsapp, Oculus, and more.
The company is already working on consumer hardware such as AR glasses with over ten thousand employees on the projects, which according to Zuckerberg will in the future be just as commonplace as smartphones. 15 years ago, no one a smartphone would have boggled everyone’s minds but today no one really even bats an eyelid. He believes that within a few years they would have changed everyone’s perception of them from a social media company to a metaverse company.
