Facebook’s new name…guesses?

I believe in the next few days Facebook will announce a new name, any guesses?
I’m guessing it will be similar to where Google created a parent company called Alphabet, but the Google product remained.

Agreed. It will be a holding company and is designed to take news articles off the products.

Maybe somebody forgot to reserve a domain name?

Should have been The Matrix. That's rather what he's building.

Meta was so obvious it was like a placeholder for what a real, creative name could've been. Oh well. I guess it's all about me(ta).

I wonder if it will be like Alphabet. A name not used outside of corporate headquarters and securities firms.

Yes.. also I think some segment of employees would like to say "I work for Meta" instead of having to say they work for Facebook.

@jon-nyc Probably exactly like that. It's also not the most friendly word to use in a sentence. "Hey, have you checked meta lately?"

I assume they aren’t changing the name of the Facebook product, just the company, which has several properties as you know.

Who the heck is that guy, anyway? What insights into the human condition has Mark Zuckerberg ever had, other than to make his company bigger? Has he ever gone public with a thought that matters, other than to what makes his company bigger?

I first encountered my girlfriend on the old Facebook.
I'd never Meta before.

Can we just cut the shit already? Is Facebook building Wintermute, or Neuromancer? That's all the hell I want to know.

So you're complaining that he restricts himself to talking about stuff that he actually knows about?
The last bloody thing I need is yet another amateur philosopher or political "commentator" spouting on. We're freaking inundated with those a-holes.

Seen on Twitter:
I preferred “meta” when it was attached to “mucil.”

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Satire from The Borowitz Report
Mark Zuckerberg Changes Name to Mother Teresa
“The name ‘Mark Zuckerberg’ did not accurately describe my function: to be a force for good, spreading love and kindness throughout the metaverse,” Mother Teresa said.
