Next week, Facebook is said to be changing its name

 


The world's most popular social media Facebook is reportedly going to change their name. Will this be the end of the use of the name Facebook after which Mark Zuckerberg founded in 2004?

The Facebook name change is to welcome the company's latest focus on building the digital metaverse space. For information, the metaverse is a shared virtual environment and ecosystem that users can access online.



As quoted from The Verge news, Thursday (21/10/2021), according to a source with direct knowledge of the plan to change Facebook's name, it coincides with the annual Connect conference on October 28.


However, said the same source, it could be that Facebook's name change could be faster than previously thought.



The plan to change the name of Facebook is to build a new image that positions the Facebook application as one of many products under the parent company that oversees Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, and others.


Recently, Facebook also opened job vacancies for 10,000 people to run consumer hardware products, such as AR glasses which Zuckerberg believes will be as popular as smartphones today.



"We will effectively transition from people who see us as a social media company to a metaverse company," Zuckerberg said.


For now, the Facebook does not respond to the issue of changing the name of Facebook. Do you think it's time for a transformation on Facebook by changing names like Google to Alphabet or Snapchat to Snap Inc while serving as the parent company?
