Yesterday, The Verge reported that Facebook is preparing to change its name to reflect that better τις φιλοδοξίες του "metaverse". Τώρα μια άλλη δημοσίευση ισχυρίζεται ότι το όνομα δεν έχει αποφασιστεί ακόμα, παρόλο που η εταιρεία σχεδιάζει να το αποκαλύψει πολύ σύντομα.
Journalist Casey Newton he says ότι επιβεβαίωσε με τις πηγές του ότι η αλλαγή του ονόματος θα έρθει ή την ερχόμενη Δευτέρα, ή κατά τη διάρκεια της ανακοίνωσης των κερδών του Facebook, ή στο congress Oculus Connect, scheduled for next Thursday.
Despite the urgency of the schedule (a week at most), Newton sources say CEO Mark Zuckerberg has not yet reached a final name.
The company has been discussing this move for at least two months, while Facebook's former CMO Antonio Lucio pushed to change the company's name three years ago in order to separate them productfrom the company.
In the meantime, a lot has happened. Although Facebook continued to make a lot of money, there have been many concerns about Facebook's role in the 2016 US presidential election, its privacy and security practices, and its overall impact on our social network. All of this prompted regulators to impose fines, and even suggested splitting it into many smaller companies. Maybe it's time to turn the page with a new name.
Another good reason to change the name is that Facebook thinks much more broadly than social media. Zuckerberg spoke openly about metaverse, a somewhat vague term that Facebook associates with virtual and augmented reality. Zuckerberg said that is the future of the company.
Μία καλή υπόθεση αυτή τη στιγμή είναι το όνομα "Meta". Συνδέεται άμεσα με το όραμα του metaverse και φαίνεται ότι το Facebook έχει αγοράσει ήδη τον domain "meta.com".
We will find out soon enough.
