Word on the grapevine is that social media nightmare platform Facebook is planning on changing its name.<\/p>\n

This mighty rebrand, according to The Verge<\/a>, is happening for one reason: the metaverse. <\/em>In more real terms, the Zuck wants to position Facebook as more than a social media company.<\/p>\n

On the information we have, it seems this move is like Google reorganizing under the Alphabet name<\/a>. That means it\u2019s unlikely the Facebook app itself will receive a name change, instead there\u2019ll be an umbrella business that all the company\u2019s separate units sit under.<\/p>\n

In other words, when you start up WhatsApp, it won\u2019t say \u201cBy Facebook\u201d anywhere. There\u2019ll be a new moniker in its place<\/p>\n

Looked at from this perspective, the rebranding makes sense. The company has been pumping huge amounts of resources into its upcoming AR products<\/a> and THE ZUCKMAN has been clear about his goals of building the metaverse<\/a>.<\/p>\n
