Facebook just revealed its new name: Meta
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced Thursday that the corporate name of the social media platform will change to “Meta,” to emphasize its “metaverse” vision. The flagship social network will keep its name.
“From now on we are going to be Metaverse first, not Facebook,” Zuckerberg said during a keynote address at the company’s annual developer’s conference. “I hope that people come to know the Meta brand and the future that we stand for.”
Zuckerberg said the company’s future will focus on building virtual reality products that connect users through a different medium. He predicted that one billion people will be on the Metaverse in the next decade.
