Facebook CEO took the virtual stage on Thursday to confirm a recent leak. Some said the company would announce a rebrand at the Connect event, a move that many anticipated for a while. Facebook needs a new name to describe better what the company is doing and dissociate itself from the Facebook toxicity. Mark Zuckerberg delivered the name change during the press event, revealing that the Meta name was accurate. Facebook is now called Meta, and Meta will oversee everything Facebook does, including Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, Oculus, Portal, and whatever else might come down the road.
Zuckerberg insisted on the massive metaverse vision during the event and media blitz and the incredibly expensive effort that goes into that. But the metaverse is still something people will not get to experience until several years down the road. And while it’s great to see Facebook take some action to clean its brand, the fact remains that Meta is still Facebook. Meta still has a big Facebook problem to fix.
