Dandy. If there wasn’t something inherently wrong with Facebook, why would the owner entertain a name change?
Corporate name, not program name.
For once, Bob and I agree on something.
Because what society needs is a virtual world that people “enter” and sit there like vegetables while they “live” virtually, free from the issues with the real world … several of which have been made worse by Facebook itself.
Talk about spin. This is going to be interesting and I can’t wait to see how it turns out. What’s that saying…if it looks like a duck.
The Meta part reminds me of when Ron Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace. I guess he rebranded himself so why not Facebook. He has to get the Feds off his back somehow and with almost 3 billion users that’s way too many people to try and rein in. I don’t see how this will help, but luckily they are so big it’s hard to imagine them going the way of other social media platforms that have come and gone as people move to the latest thing. I would take all that money and power and start diversifying the company so one aspect of it doesn’t crush you if it dies.
