Isn't this like when Google made their official company name "Alphabet?" I know exactly 0 people who actually call them Alphabet. (Mainly because that was a dumb name.)
Got a tip for us?

No one cares anymore Zuckerfart..you're a cancer on social media, free speech, and the world.
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."

Get bent and get rekt.
I am going to rebrand my failing platform in hopes that the bipedal younglings will find me relevant again
So, we're all just going to keep calling it Facebook, right?
Sorry.
My source was Facebook, I mean Meta.
Sad face emoticon goes here. and possibly here too.
So predictable. At some Facebook cabinet meeting months ago:
"Facebook is perceived to be toxic and reprehensible. So, let's just change our name and "hide" Facebook in our new benign, faceless, non-controversial corporate structure!"
High fives all around the table.

This "metaverse" thing sounds like it will take the path of the Facebook phone
"Meta?" Yeah, I guess if I had **** all over myself on the world stage, I'd do whatever I could to distract everyone and try and distance myself from it... 
Deleted mine last month after many years. I miss it 0%.
