Meta… short for metadata. Need to come up with new less-than-flattering euphemisms for the new Fakebook.
Got a tip for us?

Every one seems to hate Facebook, but I wonder who are those billions of users that still use it...
Do you guys secretly have a facebook account?

At least it makes slightly more sense than Alphabet from Google
Looks more like a Beta to me
Facebook today held a live event to talk about the "metaverse," aka the virtual and augmented reality evolution of social technology in the future, and as part of the presentation, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a new name for the company.
Going forward, Facebook the company will be known as "Meta," while Facebook will still be available as a social media product alongside WhatsApp and Instagram.
Zuckerberg said that the Facebook brand is too limited to represent what the company wants to do in the future. The new name and brand will represent Facebook's apps and its evolving work on augmented and virtual reality products. The name is meant to "reflect who we are and what we hope to build," Zuckerberg said. "Over time, I hope we are seen as a metaverse company."
"From now on, we're going to be metaverse first, not Facebook first," said Zuckerberg. "I hope that people come to know the Meta brand and the future that we stand for."

Did they hire Ron Artest as a consultant? ....
Well, I never had a facebook account and don’t intent to have one, but they became big for some reason, demand seems to exist.
People still use it, else they wouldn’t exist anymore.
Well, we’ll see…

I think the decline has already began
Meta as in “we know you are going to eat a peanut butter sandwich in 15 minutes, so we are going to send you an ad for potato chips in 10.”
How do we know? You just spent 3.5 minutes in a location that we estimate is your bathroom. When you spend that much time at those coordinates right before “lunch”, you typical post about how good pb&j is 20 minutes after. And we already see you moving to what we’ve determined to be your kitchen. Enjoy the chips, you’re welcome.
